I think checking is the correct move, but one thing nobody has pointed out that I think is worth mentioning is that I would be more tempted to bet at this flop, then if we actually picked up a straight or a flush draw. If we picked up our flush draw or straight draw if somebody is trapping with a big hand, we might be able to burn them on the turn by taking the free card now. On the other hand, in this situation, if we take a stab and somebody comes over the top of us, we can easily let go of this hand knowing we were behind anyway. Likewise, if we bet a draw in this situation, we might have to put it down anyway if villian makes a large re-raise over the top of us.

In a heads up pot I might bet the draw, but in a big multi-way like this, I would take the free card if we picked up our draw.

does this hand get interesting at some point?

I guess it depends on your definition of "interesting."

Bet flop, tricky calls. Turn 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], tricky bets, you call. River A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], double through tricky's AA.

This, I would find interesting.

I'll check back in November.

I don't think that is applicable here. Here is what he says:

[ QUOTE ]
A desire to be brilliantly clever has undone many a poker player. Most small stack play is pretty obvious and straightforward once you understand the role played by M in determining your stragegy. However, its possible to overthnk some situations, with tragic results. Warning: What you are about to see may be disturbing to some viewers.

[/ QUOTE ]

He then goes on to give an example. In his example, your M is under 4 and your opponents M is under 6. In short I don't believe this to be applicable to my situation because Harrington is specifically referring to short stacked situations.
