Re: How many callers does Buzz need?

Isn't the main reason to bet the flop so that we fold out the tight players behind us whom hero says are very likely to have A2 so that we win if the backdoor low comes in?

Yeah, we want to fold some hands, A2 for example, but not others: We want to fold the nut flush draw, but let the Q-high flush draw draw; If were against a set and two 2-pairs, we want them all in there. The trouble is, we often drop the chasers we want (the dead money), and get stuck with those we don't.
In my opinion, this might be a consideration if we were contemplating a raise, but here, there's not much we can do. It might be a valid argument that the only ones we will drop will be the ones we want to stay, but I still think it's best to bet here, for the reasons Buzz mentions.
