Default Re: Preflop raising thoughts and concerns

Re,the hand you mentioned:When you consider waiting for the turn to raise,you are taking a risk that things will go as planned.In other words,you are hoping the turn card will be at least reasonable & maybe even great.BB will lead out,everybody will call,& then you raise, trapping everybody in for 2 big bets,& making a ton of money.
The problem,as I see it,is that it looks like BB has a different goal from you & will not co-operate.Since he raised in a shut-out position,trying to narrow the field apparently,he may have something like a set.He didn't like it when everybody called,presumably.Now,on the turn,when your card comes,an A,2,4,6,7 &/or a spade,he will likely check to the field instead of obligingly betting out for you.
I think it's best to 3-bet the flop like you did.
