Common Critical Situation on Flop: To raise or not to raise TPTK?

[Matt Flynn]

Example hand: You hold AQ on a Q85 rainbow board, 10-handed, four players in pot, one check, next bets 100 into a 120 pot, one folds, you have the button. You have 3K behind and are covered by all opponents.

1. Assume you are not committed. Do you raise or not?

2. If you call, would you also call with QJ?

3. If you raise, what is your plan of action?

4. If you raise, get called, the turn goes check-check, and opponent pots the river, what do you do? What if opponent 2x's the pot?
