Well I like leading the flop. When you're raised you have to think you're behind, so you have 14 outs if all you're outs are good.

You're getting 1.5-1, you're not getting the proper pot odds to see the turn only. That being said I push here. If I'm going to put 1/2 my stack in, I'm raising the rest in.
