Why raise Mel Judah with a marginal hand early is the tournament? There are so many fish in that tournament. Why tangle with the one name player at your table? It seems from your post like you want to show how clever you are, and outplaying Mel Judah would be an ego boost.

Plus an early position limper could have a good hand. He could have practically any playable hand. He could be trapping with AA or KK. He could have TT or AQ and be seeing what develops. He could also have a pp, suited connector/gapper, Axs, etc.

When you make top pair with a 3-flush, I think you need to bet it, because it is unlikely Judah has a flush, but there is a good chance he has a flush draw. I am not too crazy about checkraising. He could 3-bet on a semibluff with a draw or a pure bluff at the dangerous board, and you probably would have to fold. Plus you put a lot of money in if he does have a flush.
