Default Re: 2/4 Inside straight and flush draw - suggest a better line.

Why not soah? I'm a good sized favorite over any pair and practically coinflipping with two pair or a set. Rather get my hand in as the favorite and avoid a difficult turn. You take this down right then and there more often than not.

Let's say hero checked, mp3 bet 24 and Co called 24. We are looking at $75 pot, by pushing all in it's only 165 for MP3 into a 240 pot and 96 for Co to call. I have a lot of FE and I put a nice squeeze play on the bigger of the two stacks. I'm not crushed if the unlikely worst case scenario of both calling with one having a set and the other having a higher flush draw as 6 of my straight outs are good.

All that and it's great for my image.
