On 1 & 2, what are you hoping to accomplish with your raise? On 3 do you think worse hands will call your raise?
Yes, depending on villain, hands like QJ/QT/ JJ/ TT might call in hand 1 and a flush draw will probably call in hand 2. Basically I raise here for value and to see how villain responds to it. If you simply call the raise and get to the turn you still have no clue if villain has trips. Raising the flop against the average player will help you figure that out. If he flat calls and bets out the turn, he probably has trips. If he flat calls and checks the turn, he probably has a weak Q or a draw, at which point you can value bet.
Plus I like to be in control of the hand ehich gives me power over pot size on 4th and 5th street. I try to make it a habit of raising or folding on the flop almost always. Another reason for this is that you get valuable info that might save you a lot of money on 4th and 5th street. For instance in example #1 if I reraise and someone pushed hard back at me, I am gone. Didn't lose much in that situation. But if I called it down then are we going to call the turn and river as well and pay this guy off a lot more?
