Re: Getting mini raised on the flop with a vulnerable hand

I'm OOP and won't most turn cards hurt me as oppose to helping me?

Well, they might hurt you, or they might "help" you, Villain doesn't know. He's unlikely to make this move with random overcards, so you aren't that worried about overcards, which you hope will slow him down and let you get to a relatively cheap showdown.
It's a good impulse to "protect" your hand, but the problem is that it's not really good enough to protect here. In a shallower-stack game a push would be fine.
