5/10 Full Tilt 88 in multiway pot as overpair

[PorkchopDJG]

Preflop I think either a call or raise is fine.
Postflop I really think you have to raise there to protect the probable best hand. If the BB 3 bets you are in big trouble and if anyone calls 2 behind you I would suspect a big diamond draw.

I think this pot is far too big to not raise the flop.

That's the reason why you don't raise it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The only draws that fold are the backdoor ones... but if that is your intention (or your opponets will fold their live draws - but players generally call too light, not fold too much) then raising is fine.

Diamond draws are staying in no matter what. They are not going to fold to a turn raise either, nor should they getting close to 7:1. Raising the flop may get some overs to fold and that is a pretty good thing in this hand.

Waiting to raise a safe turn is fine too, just realize that more than 1/2 the deck is not going to be "safe".
