I don't hate the flop call though. If this guy wants to bluff I might let him.

Ugh.

You know “Waiting until the turn to raise” is becoming so en vogue on the boards, that I think a lot of people are missing bets.

Not to be results oriented (because I think it happens a lot, not just this hand) – look what happened on the turn. --- No One Bet. There is never going to be a guarantee that a Bluffer will bet the turn, or if a “safe” card comes, we’ll be able to raise a turn bet.

Don’t get me wrong, there are times when waiting for the turn to raise is best – Large Multiway pots.

I can’t see how this is one of them. OP has identified a player who likes to play big pots, and may not necessarily have hands to play them. The pot is only three handed. We have a not monster, but reasonable hand against a quasi-maniac. These are the flops you should be raising to extract value. Get your money in while the bettors are willing to put it in.
