Hero All in for ~$400 and has Villain covered. Villain has $276 left.

Comments on the play please.

Is the "stop and go" OK here? Do I go all in on flop?

I felt like my hand+draw was too big not to re-raise with. Feedback is appreciated.

Raise preflop. a flush draw + pair is a very powerful holding against a raiser in a raised pot. In a limped pot, I would say you are behind here more than 75% of the time when people raise you, be it a set or two pair. At least that's what I normally see...

If you're going to put them all in on the turn, why not do it on the flop with 2 cards to come instead of 1.

I think a point can also be made that your line represents more strength than an all in on the flop.

This is true to an extent, but a set/2pair are still comming a long for the river and you are much less likely to improve now.

That is all.
