also agree. its a beautiful thing that one action (raising) at the same time clarifies the information you have about opps hand AND muddies their information about your hand. a lot of times that information you find means you have to now fold, because you kicked a sleeping giant with aces or something. so long as when you do see a flop you dont suddenly forget that this is NOT a top pair hand into action.

beats raising in the same spot with say QTs.
