Default Re: looking for a bigger edge

[ QUOTE ]
I always raise flop here. Maybe my logic here isn't way good, so any thoughts are welcomed.

Your hand here has reversed implyed odds as well as JJ or AK preflop. Your 'waiting' for turn action is similar to slowplay JJ preflop to look to 'bigger' edge (no overcards or picking set for example on flop).

Majority of cards on turn will decrease the value of your hand (as well as majority of time for your JJ and even AA preflop will decrease it's value after flop). And why let to see 2 opponents next card cheaply when you can be trashed in next card and you're pretty sure you're ahead right now?

The majority of turn cards will actually improve hero's equity in this pot, not decrease it. With only one card remaining, less draws have the possibility to come in.

Like I said, I think raising the flop is fine, but the turn card is going to increase hero's equity far more often than it will decrease hero's equity in a 3-way pot.
