The problem is that calling one bet with a gutshot and overcard is definitely not as big an error (if at all) as betting into a small pot with 3 other players in it with A high and two broadway cards on the board. I definitely ck/call the flop here.

However, if only 1 or 2 tight passives were in this pot or if flop was uncoordinated rags then I think you should definitely lead out because most people will fold and you have a good chance to win the pot.

In this example, too often someone will have a J or K and will reraise to protect their hand causing you to either have to lay down your hand or make an incorrect/borderline call.
