I think hero is more often ahead here then behind and a potsized bet is called just as often as a 3/4 bet. Therefor I'd pot it. Like to hear more thoughts why it is bad though.
Its not just about being ahead though. Its about being ahead and being playable. Being ahead now and betting before giving up on a card that missed both of us sucks alot. Being in position protects us from most of this but we can still check behind on the turn and then face a tough river bet OR be forced to make a turn bet of our own that we arent really happy with. I dont particularly want to play a big pot with this hand so I wont go out of my way to build one.
