I wanted to drag the LP along and it felt like a way ahead/way behind situation vs the TA. Optimal line?

Yeah, I think you can't do anything different here. Flop raise is chipspewing, turn will scare away the TAG, and river raise good.

If a flop raise is spewing would a river raise not also be?

Although, there aren't any real good draws, I don't believe a flop raise is that bad.

No... the turn card changes that... then, IMO the turn call, river raise is good, but that only works with the call on the flop. If you raised flop and SB still keeps pushing, then river raise is not as good.

I like a turn raise actually, it more looks like you're trying to represent the A than that you actually have it. If you had it why didn't you raise the goddamn flop [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] (or so the TAG would think).

I agree, I understand you wanted to wait till the river to get an extra bet from MP, but I think the TAG might get suspicious/the river card might be scary to him and you can't be sure he'll bet the river for you. If you raise the turn though you're likely getting called down by the SB at least.
