I can't think of many players at 25nl with the ability to raise me from the button with a worse hand than mine (besides myself). That said, if I lead out, I could get shut out of the pot.

If I lead and the button raises, the SB has to call to give me drawing odds OOP on the button. If the SB flats there, the stuff in his range scares the crap out of me. If the SB gets out of the way and I'm getting like 2:1, knowing the button is likely to bet the turn if I'm beat and check behind if he wont pay off anyway, I can't really call. So it seems that by leading out I might lose my chance at my draw. Is it better here to b/f than to check and see what the other players give me?
