Re: AQ on a monotone flop, flop decision?

I think it also gives you a better idea of where you're at.

ugh.
raising is ok. but "seeing where you're at" is totally irrelevant in this situation. you have the nut flush draw and you are going to see the river regardless. if you raise this its for value, not for information.
here are the problems with trying to obtain "information" in this manner.
1) you assume that if villain 3 bets, he has a high pair. this is false. he could easily play a hand like AxJh this way.
2) In addition, many villains will not 3 bet a hand like AA/KK on a board like this, preferring to wait to see a safe turn.
any raise whose sole purpose to "see where you're at" is a mistake in limit. for almost any hand you can think of, I can give excellent counterarguments for ever raising purely for information. if you get information from a raise, it is good, but that shouldnt be your primary purpose for choosing that course of action.
