Re: Raise the flop?

Raising it makes it easier because if you get 3-bet, you can call and fold turn UI

I don't know about that. Let's say Hero raises, BB 3-bets, MP calls, and Hero calls. There are now 8.75 BB in the pot. If BB leads out on the turn and MP calls, you'll be getting 10.75:1 to call.
Outs (discounted) are:
- 2 (1.5) for an Ace
- 4 (3.5) for a Queen
- 12 (4) for 2 pair, assuming the turn is a non-club and doesn't pair the board
- 9 for a club if the turn is a club
The turn call is a pretty easy call UI unless faced with calling 2 bets cold. Like SSHE says, a lot of times when you build a pot early with a big hand you usually commit yourself to showing it down because of pot odds.
