I like this hand all around.

I see your point. Of course the villain could pot the turn when you raise flop. But if you can assume that you have 15 outs you can call a pot sized bet. 15 outs gives you about 1:2 to make your hand on the next card which is the pot odds you getting against a pot sized bet.

If the villain has a set or two pair then you may not have 15 outs, but then you may not want to be all in on the flop either.

Big draws like this prefer to be all in because if opponent stop and go's you all in on the turn, you are in a very rough spot. Also if you flatcall the flop and villian pops the turn for pot it is generally a bad idea to call.

Hero would be getting 2-1 on the turn if he flat calls and villain pots turn. Since hero is 2-1 to improve, calling on the turn would be a GOOD idea in your hypothetical situation, esp because he can win a bet on the river.

Why do you think he bet the 5? Buying it; weak value betting; looking to get reraised? It seems he liked his hand on the flop.
