Brick - Might the 2nd round three-bet knock out another second nut low?

Hero knows WeakGuy won't raise with A-2-Y-Z and by inference probably also won't raise with a worse low like A-4-Y-Z. But Button or Blind could be holding A-4-Y-Z and it would be hard for Button to continue to a triple bet and maybe also for Blind to continue to a double bet if either of them happens to hold A-4-Y-Z.

So by raising, Hero substantially reduces his chances of getting quartered. And if the triple bet knocks out Button, then Hero has gained position and might be able to get a free card on the next betting round. (Whether he does or not, he has more options with Button missing).

Of course the plan back-fires if Button, especially, or Blind has A-2-Y-Z.

Thus I like raising better than calling. But folding is tempting too.
