What is the advantage of leading the flop? I think worse hands fold and better hands don't and there aren't really draws that I am desparate to protect my hand against. Isn't it better to let him bet the flop so that I get money in when he missed? Also, if I check and it goes bet-raise behind me, I can fold and save money. I used to always lead these flops, but I've realized that I don't really understand the advantage over checking.
