i raise the flop. you have 3 people trapped. you may or may not have BB beat but with three in the middle and TPGK you have to raise. id prefer doing it early whilst people will call.

I think that this is a pretty clear case of it being better to wait until the turn to raise. The pot is huge, your hand is vulnerable, and all you're doing with your flop raise is pumping the pot for a draw and making it correct for weak draws to call the turn (which, admittedly, it might be anyway). There may be no way of protecting your hand here, but you certainly can't do it on the flop.

On second look, I definitely like raising the turn with my 2 pair and 2d-nutflush draw. But I hate raising the flop.
