ok, why lead the flop. i get 3 calls and i have no information about my hand

If you get 3 calls you know you're ahead almost every time.

or i get raised by the pfr and i dont know whether he's just continuation betting, trying to push off other overcards or actually has a better hand.

We like him forcing out the others. He will do it with overs a fair ammount of the time. Calling down from the flop raise is profitable, why do you need to know where you at? Check the turn and let him bluff/value bet again. A case could be made to lead the river, but I think check/calling is fine.

i have to 3 bet to find out and if he just calls i could bet the turn and get raised

Don't 3-bet!

by c/r i establish my hand strength for 2 bets instead of 3, especially against a utg raiser where im either a huge dog or he has ak. on top of that, the c/r ties on the other two players for 2 bets on the flop instead of 1 from leading out (or possibly 0 if UTG raises)

I think our hand is too vulnerable to tie hands to.
