when you likely have a lock hand

You flopped a boat. I'd guess you have 95% equity in this pot. You have a lock hand. It don't get much more locked than this.

I didn't phrase that completely correctly, but I didn't mean you have to wait until the turn to see if you have a lock hand. You have it on the flop, and I still think you make more money against 1/2 opponents by raising the turn, but I'll admit it's close.

You were unlucky that you didn't get more BB out of this pot. If the SB and MP2 were good aggressive players, you would have won much much more.

Cheers,

I don't think you have odds to protect your hand in this case. No one is drawing to more than 2 outs. Making someone to fold is worth at most 17*2/47 = 0.7SB but if they call they give you more. Raising is also likely to destroy your chances to extract extra big bets on the later streets which makes it still worse.

Besides, raising the flop won't make anyone not drawing dead to fold anyway, so if you really wanted someone to fold you would have to try that on the turn.
