Reads: <font color="blue">taking a shot at 400NL. my first hand at the table. absolutely no reads. is a flop raise std?
my thoughts at the time were that i wanted to charge the flush draw, and mayyybe get value from a 9, but on the other hand i didn't want to face a tough decision if he pushed. (which he could do with the FD+2 overs).
is call flop, reconsider (likely call a non-h) turn a better line?

please give reasons.</font>

Raise to $95 and be ready when he pushes

make it $80. calling flop is not so good, because there are alot of cards that could make you unhappy on the turn (Q,K,A, hearts, 9, etc). If he is willing to get it in with a FD, then you need to call a push.

I'd raise flop and call a push usually, especially 3-handed.

I see more merit calling the flop with KK+ as there are less scare cards.

I would raise and call a push.
