garland, what do you put sb and button on that makes betting so easy?

SB has a naked J, which I don't want to give a free card for his 5 outer. Maybe 9T or some other gutshot, which we need to charge for the draw. He could even have a weaker flush draw (which is a bonanza on the river if it hits), and we need to charge him for drawing dead.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that button has TT or 99 or some other pair and froze on the flop. Don't give him a free 2 outer. If raised, you can be fairly sure where you stand.

On the turn you have a hand, so protect it.
