I would call and pray someone raises behind me. I don't like raising now because we allow people behind us to just play perfect poker. They will call with 2 pr or better and fold worse hands.

Agreed. Raising the flop just discourages weaker hands from coming (A jack, weaker draws) and puts you in the position of being the caller of an allin behind you. Not bad, nothing *bad* can happen on the flop action, but you'd rather get a raise from behind you, a call from the SB and then push over the top.

If no one raises behind you, the pot is manageable on the turn. With the right read you can semibluff push when you miss.
