And I think you do get a better idea of where you stand by raising here. I always like to know where I stand.

At first, I thought raising for information might be a good idea, but now I'm not so sure. Let's say that Hero does indeed raise, and Rick the Rock calls. What did we learn? And did we learn anything that will change our play of the hand? Let's say we raise, Rick folds and Tricky Tony re-raises. Are we going to get away from the hand? Our 9 or 10 outs still force us to call. Information only has value if it causes us to change our course of action, and I don't see much changing here.
