i'd probably only call this preflop if i expected to go multiway a lot of the time. that means lots of loose/passive fish who call too much, and no likely squeezers. as played i actually would bet this flop because i expect both villains to have two live overcards most of the time (based on their checks) and so i want to prevent them from realising their equity. we're never getting them to put a cent in on later streets unless they outdraw us anyway (assuming their ranges are predominantly missed high cards). based on peoples replies i'm thinking that logic is wrong now.
