it also depends on the players behind you. along with other factors.

if you knew the players were going to call anyways, but may fold to a 3 bet, since there are many players already in, why not let them in to? unless youre trying to buy the button.

but do you really want to pay any more to see this flop? a 3 bet is an option, but will it accomplish what you want with it if you do it? what would be your goal with a 3 bet? wouldnt you like the blinds to come along too? i would.

however, a 3 bet may help define the raisers hand a little better.

both ways are valid. but im seeing this flop.

just some ideas
