Re: Am I really \"protecting\" my 2nd pair/nut flush draw?
What makes a raise better than a call on the turn here is his position relative to the bettor.
1) There are two players left to act, which will likely fold to a two bet but probably call one.
2) UTG might have the ten or better, he might be betting he flush draw, he might have a straight draw, a raise here will likely buy a free showdown, since UTG is first to act.
So for the same price as calling the turn and river, you get to knock out two players and get a free showdown.
