I just think the missed value, protection, deception, and unreadability is more important.

I agree with this statement. True it is higher risk against an unknown, but in general you'll get called down often enough with worse hands. Also at this level, an ace will fire back allowing you to get rid of it before it gets too expensive, but the drawing hands will usually go into call down mode.

i hate this reasoning. who is to say that at this level a flush draw doesnt fire back, or another hand you have outs against?

the thing is, based on his hand range, we KNOW calling down is +ev

folding when ahead is a million times worse than calling when behind here.
