This is a tough one and it is a raise or fold situation. There are so many cards that hurt you on the turn or river that folding would not be a mistake IMO

I think folding would be a huge mistake. Hero has TP/TK and position on two players. BB's stats suggest that he could certainly be making a play with an OESD or MP. Consequently, I would raise.

Im currently wavering between raising the flop, and raising a safe turn card.

I could go either way.

There's no guarantee that BB is going to bet the turn, especially since he will have been called by both players on the flop.

BB isn't betting into the preflop raiser (hero) with a made straight. Raise the flop and see what develops on the turn.

FWIW, I bet a made straight here like 100% of the time.

FWIW, the BB could have lots of hands that crush us...but I'm raising the flop anyway.

With a rainbow flop, I tend to want to wait till the turn to show strength (at the very least checkraise the flop). I know fast playing is the new slowplay, and perhaps I should change my tendencies in that situation.
