I often check behind here on the flop.

What is your reasoning behind this and what is your turn plan?

Simply, I know I am going to fold to a C/R here most of the time, so why not take a free card and see what the turn brings. An offsuit card that pairs my hand and I will bet or raise the turn, a 4th flush card & I have a lot of options as well. Too often this flop will get raised by all sorts of trash and I hate folding the best hand when I have position.

That's kind of interesting against guys who are going to peel / bluff without a club / pair some of the time. Against people who are only going to continue with a piece of the board, though, you show an imediate profit by betting.
