Re: Waiting till the turn to protect a hand

What you're missing is that when they call, you get a share of their bet. When they fold you get their share of the pot, which is bigger whenever they have the correct odds to call.

I think this comment makes a great point, and would indicate that you are okay raising both the flop and turn against a heads-up opponent, but against multiple drawing hands it is crucial to be able to make them fold.
If you are against one guy w/ an open ended straight draw you have a lot fewer cards to dodge on the turn and river than if you're up against a flush draw, open ended, and backdoor flush of a different suit. Thus, much more important to be able to offer incorrect odds on the turn against multiple draws. If you've given all 3 of them extra odds on the flop, you're very likely beat.
