I'd cap the flop, your hand might still be best and you've got a lot of people calling along.

One thing wrong with your statement:

In this hand, I'm either ahead or drawing to 2 outs. If I'm drawing to 2 outs, the extra people in the hand aren't helping me.

That being said, there's a lot to be said for pushing the flop and not doing so...

push:
-getting a's and k's to fold is a good thing (removes 6 outs)
-getting bottom pair or middle pair to fold is a good thing (give me a chance to counterfeit someone who flopped the other two pair)
-if someone caps the flop, it's a cheaper read than someone raising the turn. We can start to call down sooner

wait:
-I'm only going to be giving these people 10:1 pot odds. They're going to call with a lot of hands, correctly.
-If I wait til the turn, I can give them odds as low as 6:1... when their equity will be greatly reduced...
-a lot of hands will cap the flop, but fewwer hands will raise the turn.

I'm still not sure which is the best approach, but your point about folding the a's and k's is sweet.

do you mean a turn re-raise?
