Here is a mockup hand, sorry if theres something abit off..

NL 0.10/0.25

Hero $25
Button $25

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, Button calls $1, 2 folds.

Flop: ($2.25) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players)
Hero bets $2, Button raises to $6...

If the button has a draw here, whats the arguements against pushing the flop or calling and pushing a blank turn? I understand we have more equity if the turn blanks, but id rather get it in while we are ahead.

Also lets say we are the villain with J /images/graemlins/spade.gif10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, again are we trying to get it in on the flop or should we play it more passivley?

I understand the concepts of pot odds and outs etc... but alot of the people who analyse the hands in these forums seem to go alot deeper, so just wondering on some general thoughts.
