ATs-butchered flop

I should have just raised the damn flop right? I don't know why I keep doing this. When is it right not to juice the flop with a strong draw to keep potential later customers?

You should post this in small stakes.

I don't think not raising the flop and going for overcalls is that bad. I raise out of habit here but that doesnt make it right. Making the field cold call 2 and thus fold when they would otherwise call might not be the best thing.

I wouldn't have raised the flop. By that, you have possibly chased away 1 - 2 small bets and someone else would have capped. I also believe that the raise was bad on a odds perspective. You were drawing to the remaining diamonds.

sorry guys, clicked the wrong stakes and didn't know it. If there were 4 or more people after me missing this raise would be fine. But I'm pretty sure as it is it's pretty bad, especially the way the table had been going. (which I should have included in my original post).
