Was the raise on the flop correct?

[Rev. Good Will]

it was a really good value raise actually.

As long as you feel that you can control the other players and that they will give you the free card, I would raise. I'd rather pay 2 SBs than 3 SBs to get to the river which you will most likely do unless there is some ridiculous action.

I still probably check through on the turn even though you hit your Q.
