Re: standard uncertainty
Raising the flop in this spot might get you 3-bet, which really sucks. However, getting 3-bet might define his hand a little better allowing you to more comfortably fold on the turn. But players like this really tend to get over aggro in 3 to 4-handed situations. Some players will bet/3-bet overs in this spot. Ideally here I'd raise the flop (not get 3-bet), check behind UI on the turn, and call any river. I'd really like to show this hand down as I'm ahead of a lot of Aces and other broadway combos with which he'd 3-bet preflop.
I don't know, raising the flop and keeping the initiative makes this hand a bit easier to play. But playing it the way you did the 3 options of folding the turn, calling down, and raising the turn for a "free showdown" have merit. Raising the turn gives you a bit more fold equity than raising the flop.
With all my indecisiveness here, I think I'm getting to showdown somehow.
