Re: Now or later?
 

"This pot is huge and you need to focus on winning it, not gaining an extra bet on the turn."

If the focus is on winning it, I think the better plan is to wait. Not many players cold-call two big bets on the turn. It's hard in today's games to keep players from seeing the turn; it's less hard to keep them from seeing the river.

Re: Now or later?
 

reraise right then and there. Simply calling wont knock out any gut shots in the blind or the limpers. If the check raiser has flopped a set of 7's, he will cap thinking you have two high suited diamonds or an over pair. You are the aggressor pre-flop. Keep in the lead, especially with this monster. By 3-betting before the flop you have made the pot too big to slowplay. If your opponent bets into you on the turn and a diamond appears, you have the option of calling or raising. If he choses to check, you have the option to check or to bet. You still control the action because of your position.

i dont see what the dilema here is. drawful board with many players, you have a monster, but a vulnerable hand relatively speaking. you have all kinds of redraws.
