Hero raises for value. Since there was no preflop raise, you're not seeing AK or KQ, here. However, there's a flush draw on the board, and I don't want to let them see a cheap turn.

The argument could be made to wait for the turn to raise, as a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the turn would severely swing your equity, but I prefer to get the money in while you're sure you're ahead.

Edit: by the way, nice post, OP. You formatted it well, and you put in what information you had. Well done.
