When we have 7c6c on 5c4c3x and we get donked into with two players left behind us to act, 1) we actually can lose the pot; 2) there are a ton of action killing turn cards (board pairing, 6x, 2x, Ax, 7x, clubs); 3) while we block some of the hands we want Vs to call a raise with, there are plenty of holdings out there that will continue. Straights, sets, two pairs (our hand looks like AA/KK given our image), flush draws.
I can't believe I actually went through that effort for one of snowman's low effort posts, but there. A little poker 101.
EXACTLY given our image they put us on AA or KK .
given desc of 2 of the V's as tight and other as TAG; straight draws and 2 pair seem very unlikey
so we have Ax suited clubs or sets to fade on the turn.
A raise chases out all but the strongest of holdings.
V will correctly make the right play for the wrong reason
Are we unbeatable NO but We hope to get the other two to call the flop and maybe the TAG to raise even ,
If not let BB donk turn again.
against a different line up , sure I would agree with you to Raise
But given OP desc of the 3 V's calling is the better play.
I get it your scared ; better to take it down now .
