Why not raise for a free card.. and if 3-bet, cap for a free card?

If the EP flop better 3-bets, he may knock out the flop callers between making my raise much less profitable.

Only if more than 2 fold though. From the way you described the table, these guys sound like they like to call.

If you are not going to raise here for a free card, I'm not sure when you ever would because you always run the risk of the original raiser 3-betting and knocking people out.

Do you only raise for a free card when you are also raising to protect/buy outs with something like Axs where you are trying to clean up your ace?
