Raise the flop or go for the C/R on the turn???

Alternativly, bet out the flop... Although I think this would be the worst choice of the 3.

i would probably lead and go for a c/r on the turn unless a truly terrifying card comes off. If you lead on the flop you might get some callers then PFR raises and you call call then you can c/r the field on the turn...

anyone else???

I raise on the flop. You'd sure hate to see a club come on the turn. Trip deuces is a set, but it's bottom set. Besides, if raising knocks out flush draws -- great. If it doesn't, then you're jamming the pot and making it expensive for them to catch; either way you're +EV and should take advantage by raising here. If a scary turn card comes (a club), then reevaluate.

Raise here and trap those 3 players for 2 bets a piece.

I did indeed raise the flop to trap those callers, and led out the turn. The rest of the hand played itself, giving me quads on the river. I took down a nice sized pot.
