is a flop raise in #1 always out of the question?

Well say we give SB AK, AA, QQ or some overpair to a T...your equity on the flop is 50/50 and if u raise there is a decent chance u get 3bet here pretty often. The only reason to raise is if it affects the big streets...like say it gives u a bigger percentage that sb will fold, incorrectly laying down an Ace or overpair on the turn/river...then a raise is worthwhile. While from an equity standpoint a raise or call does not matter.

There is a post somewhere by Ed Miller on a situation like this (or close to I believe...I read it over a year ago)
