I know I'm ahead here most of the time.

If the flop was K-Q-rag rainbow, I think a call would be in order. So that I don't stop the bluffer/lose more when I'm behind.

But with the 3 straight and 2 flush flop, I've got to raise here to charge the gutshots, OESD's and flush draws, right?</font>

If that's you're read you might want to wait till the turn to raise, assuming the turn card is safe. I don't think you're getting 3 bet here to often. You charge more to the draw and get a free showdown if you want it

Yeah, that sounds good.

What actually happened was I raised the flop and he folded. That is pretty rare at this level, even with bluffers (I know).
