I did not raise the flop due to the size of the pot and the texture of the board. I waited for a safe turn card and when the 6 came i did not feel that helped anybody so i raised.Many times with a co-ordinated board and a decent size pot i wait until the turn to try and thin the field. Thanks for your comments. Ice

The problem is that with this board and your holding, close to half the deck is composed of potentially dangerous cards. Do you really want that guy with A3 calling one SB and hitting his A on the turn for cheap? If he's going to call, then at least make him pay double. What I'm trying to say is that I would raise this flop pretty much every time.
