Re: real common situation.
I think raising the flop is best. Any time I have a one pair hand that I definitely want to showdown I like to have the lead on the turn (unless he 3-bets the flop of course). This limits the damage to 3 turn/river bets maximum when we are in fact behind while still getting plenty of value when you we are in front, which is a healthy majority of the time against almost any hand range. I think he is far more likely to call down or even spew with a worse hand than he would be if you waited until the turn and he may also 3-bet the flop and lead the turn with a draw. Is my thinking wrong here?
Thanks,
Cartman
