i dont like flat calling, he has to find out where he stands.
Flat calling in position is underrated as an information-gaining tool. #1, you automatically gain one really huge piece of information: the value of the next card to your hand. #2, the opponent here is first to act on the turn and has to follow his re-raise with a bet of some sort, or perhaps a check. That's more information for you, easily as much as you might gain from raising again on the flop. On the off chance he does check, you also gain something by being able to check behind and get another free card in case you're behind.
