3bet preflop for value. We are deep vs MP - our hand is way ahead of his range and we want to punch up the preflop pot so that we have the opportunity to win a BIG pot the times we flop a top hand. If we flat call preflop and the flop is HU we have a potsize on teh flop of $4 with 96 behind and it's going to be be difficult to build a big pot relative to our stacks unless he also flops a goot hand (very unlikely) or is very loose/bad.

As played on the flop I like minraising here. SB donked into 2 players - unless he's b/3betting a set or 2pair or AA here he is folding - and we want to build this pot vs MP.

If we raise big then we give really bad odds to both players who may well be drawing - we are not scared of the fd as we boat up often enough altho it may well kill the action. A minraise here makes both villains make another decision and we are more than happy to shove this flop if we get raised by either player - I think a minraise makes their decision more tricky and so then they are more likely to make a mistake. Unless SB is very aggro or tends to only donk flops into pfr's with the goods then flat calling here is bad as we then let both players draw cheaply. If we are pretty sure SB is raising if we call then calling is good - if not then I think calling is bad and raising is much better - and I think this is a spot where minraising might be best of all.
