Yeah, I agree leading makes the flop considerably easier to play. Though, I'm not a big fan on leading because:

-It's likely I'm behind, and it seems inevitable I'll be raised.

-I'll very rarely fold out any superior hands, or strong drawing hands. QQ can be discounted heavily as TAG caps that pf. As for KQ no [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], I highly doubt this flop will be checked through, and thus think hands like this will fold regardless of my play.

-My draw isn't very strong and has domination problems.

-Leading commits me to calling a raise.


With that being said, I felt very uneasy about check/folding in this big pot.
