The goal in any hand is to maximize the value from it.

When you flop the nut you want to get as much money in ahead as possible.

Folding is weak poker.

belittling!

You're doing it wrong!

It's always best to get it in with the nut straight. In nearly all situations in NL holdem it's best to get allin with the best hand on the flop. There are a couple rare case where you're not a favorite where your opponent has two overs plus a flush draw plus backdoor out or where they have an open ended straight draw and a flush draw or similar. However even then the chips already in the pot normally make getting allin +EV regardless of being slightly behind.
