Guys,
 
not raising this flop isn't "crazy". It really really is that standard play.
 
Lets look at preflop. We raised and we got reraised preflop. What does this mean? What range of hands do you put him on? I don't know about you, but when a non-maniac non-light3better reraises me preflop, I think AK/JJ+. Maybe some also have AQ/AJ/77-TT as well. The only reason I recommend not folding preflop is because the size of his reraise is so small.
 
Now lets look at the flop. We have TPTK, but so what? We're behind JJ+/77/99 still, AK/AQ is drawing to 3 outs, 88/TT only has 6 outs vs us. So what do we call this situation? THATS RIGHT! A WA/WB situation!!!
 
Now if preflop was a bit different, and he just called and didnt reraise, then you see that his hand range on tyhe flop is so much greater, and we can easily raise for value and maybe even look to get all in. but given that he showed huge strength preflop, we know that his range is much tighter than that, and guess what, we're bhind nearly all of it.
 
DM is ofc right, IF we choose to raise the flop, we need to be raising a lot more. A pot sized raise is to over $13 here, and we HAVE to fold if he reraises us. So then we lose half a buy-in, with a hang we KNEW was marginal at best given action so far, and we didnt even get past the flop! Not really a very good outcome!
