WA/WB usually applies to heads up situations.

I would raise the flop. If SB 3-bets, then the 2 players inbetween you either have to call 2 bets cold or fold.

If SB just calls, then you will be getting an overlay from the 2 players inbetween if they also call, while you probably have the best hand.

This is no WA/WB. WA means that when you are ahead the other person doesn't have more then 3/4 outs, or when you are behind the other person doesn't have more then 3/4 outs. You have 3 opponents here on a 2 suited flop, you need to protect your hand! RAISE

You're last to act, a raise can only be for protection if SB 3-bets. Once guys have put money in on the flop, they don't fold for one more bet at this level. Raising is still correct I think, but it's for value.

WA/WB is usually most effective when you and your opponent have shown strength preflop, and the pot is heads-up. You can narrow down the opponent's range because of the preflop action.

Raising will not protect your hand at any point here, although this is a spot where you should at least consider waiting for the turn to raise. Do you see why?

Yeah, I didn't look at the position of hero when making my statement about protection.

You have to raise this on the flop or turn. I would raise the flop. The only real draw out there is to the flush. You can't protect this hand given your position relative to the SB.
