I think you raise here only if you are willing to get most or all of your stack in on the flop and knowing that if you get re-raised you are behind and certainly behind at least one of the Villains if they both come along.
V1's lead out is a little perplexing as you would expect him to be moderately strong being able to lead OOP and into PF raiser who is perceived as TAG or TAGish. Best thing you're hoping for if not already beat is that V1 is leading with say 9
T
or 6
7
and is V2 capable of flatting with QQ+ in the middle in a multiway pot? If you raise as a squeeze-type play you may find yourself having to call off without a lot of additional EV+ outside the flush, whose draw odds may not be reduced...if i reduce my out count by one just one suspicion of V1 (yes I know it would be 2, but that's only if we are certain he is on same flush draw).
I prefer flatting the flop in position and closing the action gives me the more maneuver room with the ability to re-evaluate the turn and watch what each of them do.
BTW, line I hope for the least on turn is ck by V1, bet of ~half pot by V2 which inclines me to call and then have V1 CRAI - raising or shoving here doesn't tell me anything more and I don't know that I can get both to fold seeing as they each have lead one street. Now my hand has turned into a mostly pot-odds crying call which is not particularly how I prefer to get it all in.**
** Pot starts at $48 + $30x3 = $138 (Flop) and turn is perceived relative blank for all hands:
==> if V2 bets $70 on turn Hero's call and V1 CRAI,
==>==> if V2 only calls the raise, pot is offering $808 for $232 (3:1ish) - and V2 still has ~$200 left behind; regardless of the river I think I'm just about pot committed to call V2's last $200 if he fires.
==>==> if V2 RRAI, pot offers $1040 for $432 (slightly less than 2.5:1) where I can end up winning the ~$400 side pot, but V1 is pushed main pot of $1k - essentially puts me back where I started the turn and that's if I end up in second place this way.
