Awkward hand means awkward river

No, i´m not afraid of a higher flush. As i stated before, with less players in i would bet for value without regarding the quality of my flush. But with 5+ players in i would be cautious with my flush. Its not the nuts. I wouldn´t check it only because its a baby-flush. I would check this against a lot of players i meet in todays .25/.50 or .50/1. With 5+ players there is only a very slim chance that the 3-flush will be checked through. There are a lot players out who try to value bet or to make moves from the B or B-1. I simply give them the opportunity to do so, whe they are enough in number. When i instead lead out here it looks to scary to potential callers.
I would like to see a bet here from 2nd or 3rd position. Thats all. It´s less scary and i get perhaps more callers. If bet is from 2nd position and no other callers, i might only call because of the quality of my flush. I don´t want to be reraised here by the nuts. But if they are more callers i raise and don´t care for the nuts, because of the added dead money in.

As i stated before i don´t check this if i think opponents are in a passive mood and there is no stealer or tricky player out there.
