NL200: 77 flop decision

mmmm

I think it is a touch spewy, I think I much prefer calling on the flop given that out of his leading range I think we tend to isolate ourselves vs the very top of it when we raise after he's lead into 3 players so prolly chk/folds a lot of "air" leaving less FE. We have decent visibility, a good draw and a hand with strong bluff catching potential.

I don't think stacking off for value is much of an option and once he 3bets we're in a terrible spot. I know there is a a case for protecting our equity here, but not many hands with strong turn equity are going to fold to a flop raise.

This is a run out I'd be extremely likely to hero down on.

I agree.
By raising the flop we're essentially bluffing because his range for betting this board in this spot (4way) is very strong.
Unless you think he's prepared to b/f overpairs (unlikely given he bets into 3 opponents), a call for our equity is better.

total nit (11% MP open woot) cbets super wet board vs 3 callers , screams strength, he definetly just gives up here with AK, AQ.
raising is spewy, hes never folding there once cbetting.
just call, hit turn, stack him off or fold turn unimproved to another big bet.
