Im counting 3 oc outs and 2 outs from the 2 bdsdraws. I should clearly at least call. But raise for protection ?

When you have nothing but a draw, isnīt raising for protection basically just for cleaning your outs ? Cleaning the oc outs for possible 2 pairs some one might get with A or Q. So im cleaning my outs and pay a higher price for it - 2 bets, that is. Donīt i need a double sized pot for this play to be profitable ?

Turn: (7.20 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: 8.20 BB
