Re: It\'s a big flop.

Sklansky and co. often say that you should do whatever you can to win the really big pots. I figured that this was the case here.
[/ QUOTE ] They mean when you can improve your chances of winning by knocking out players with better hands or draws. For instance, if you hold A8 on a K87 flop, you might be able to knock out someone with QQ, JJ, or TT if you raise with your MPTK. You might also be able to knock out someone with a JT gutshot.
On this board with a huge pot, your not going to knock out any better hands which is any ace, and I don't see any draws you can knock out either. I think your behind and drawing to two outs and I don't see how raising is going to help you much even if you could knock someone out.
