I guess getting it in is fine if you don’t trust your post-flop play. Given reasonable SPRs (which is possible here), our position can force them into very awkward situations — for example, they reveal their hand strength, they give you a free card, or they bluff into the nuts. I would assume that hero would have a good read on the tendencies of the villains and can adapt his play accordingly.
Guessing that hero has enough equity to seek out getting it in here strikes me as cavalier and a waste of the power of position.
Also, my suggested line would result in $360 or so in the pot with 350 effective behind. Flop line is check-12-12-126-fold-126, so pot is 90+12+126+126. As played with the initial flop raise that is then check-raised, I think the only line is to get in due to spr, but that’s a fault of the initial flop raise and is not a required (or even optimal) line. Just wanted to clarify since my original reply didn’t specify which bet I was suggesting to flat.
