Re: Should this have been protected on the flop?

2 things most people have failed to acknowledge.
1. An ace may only have 4 outs, but he has 2 chances to make those outs. The turn and the river. He is ~5:1 to win this pot on the flop.
2. His chances don't diminish on the turn. Any turn card gives the Ace another 3 outs with runner-runner boat. He is now 5.6:1 to win the pot.
EDIT: It doesn't matter what the turn card is (a 2,3,4 pairing still gives villian a bigger boat).

At first this made me want to say i should wait for the turn in order to raise a safe card. However, i can't be sure that ANY turn card is a safe card. Villain could have any kicker to go with his ace.
Kwazzie has persuaded me to be in favor of going to war with this on the flop.
