Why do (many of) you guys want to throw 3 more SBs into this pot on the flop with the hope of driving out MP with your weak and vulnerable made hand?

People with MP's stats tend to stick around for a while with any piece of the board, including longshot draws and overcards. People with CO's stats (AF=1) have something more often than not when they raise preflop and the flop. Change the 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] to 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and you have a case, but as it stands, I think you're just trying to muscle out two opponents with a hand that will lose money ITLR. You really don't want to get tied to this pot because you jammed it early on with a so-so hand.
