Default Re: Textbook wait for turn in huge pot?

I disagree with the posters that prefer to wait for the turn, and think you should definitely raise the flop.

Yes, you miss the chance to fold out the gutshots, but I would not expect these hands (Only three: JT, QJ, QT) to be that common in this hand that was threebet preflop, and you do not lose very much equity against them anyway (smallish overlay on the flop and turn calls). Folding gutshots becomes much more critical on for example a JTx board.

Since the pot is huge you actually need to put pressure on even weaker hands to fold. You should raise to fold any pair or PP with a spade.

Of course raising the flop also builds the pot, which has value (even if we prefer weak draws to fold, the major part of additional money into the pot is our EV).
