Questions

What kind of road do I choose.

1. Try to get it HUHU with bad SB
2. Call and get a better picture of MP his range
3. ....

given SB description I'd certainly pop it up and try to force out MP

3. Raise for value because you have the best hand

You have to raise I think and call a 3, SB PF cap doesn't make sense and given your notes I think you have the best hand. I would aim to get pot headsup

Idk, I don't like raising. Forcing out QQ would be nice, but other than that your raise allows good MP to play perfectly. SB has eh ... 2 cards and wants to barrel off -> let him. Perfect spot to induce. Meanwhile, get value from MPs UPs and 3 outers.
Call flop. Reevaluate turn.
One piece of advice I got in this forum is not to try to protect your hand if it may not be best when 2nd to act 3W.

When SB leads I thought about all his other played hands,
so I raised him and try to force out MP, to be honest I had
no idea why I did this.

We want to get more money in the pot and loose less when behind right?
I think your right mic, when we take this line, we accomplish this.

Flop: (12 SB) 8 K 5 (3 players)

SB bets, Hero raises , MP 3-bets , SB calls , Hero?

Results-oriented. Come up with ranges for MP and SB after the preflop action and you'll see that you're way ahead at the first flop decision point. Just calling and allowing MP to stick around for one bet with hands like 89s, Ax (especially Ac), and even smaller pp is bad for you. Also consider the added value of being last to act on future streets when MP folds the flop.

The reason you were in an uncomfortable spot in this hand is because you were sandwiched between two aggressive players, not because you raised.

Must raise flop.

this.

I like a flop raise. We're happy when MP folds a hand like AT, even something like 77 really. Yes, MP can play perfect against, but he also can play close to perfect if we just call the flop. Pot is so big at this point that I feel like it doesn't really matter that our range is face up to MP, we just need to give ourselves the best chance to win it at showdown by isolating SB.

As played, I see a turn with my set/BDFD outs getting 20:1.

imo terrible advice and i disagree to la peste

in big pot, no time to bother with losing bet but more to try win the pot

often u can read ( top i think) raising the second best hand is right in big pot to drop other player if it helps increase ure equity in the pot.

here i raise to drop 3rd player.

if u had KK on A72 then ure equity wouldnt matter much since its way/way behind, but here the pot too drawy and tooo many overcard possible

I like raising the flop to get a better picture of where you are. if MP three bets two raises (like he did), then I would give him credit for having the K, other wise you can bet down against SB. I would call the 3bet on the flop because there is so much money in the pot and try to hit a set.

wow la peste... really

yeah. why? is that bad? I don't hate a raise, but I really don't find it mandatory for the same reasons microgrinder stated. I could be way off here. I talked to OP about this hand and I said to him that I would not raise the flop, but that I could be wrong on that. I asked him to post the hand, figuring most people would come out the way they did and that I would be in the minority. Was surprised that microgrinder said what he did, and thought he really summed it up nicely.

yeah they are are valid reasons but it just seems pot size easily trumps them...
