Re: PL08 6 handed, How do you play this?
 

am I the only one that check raises the flop fairly often?

i vote suck-bet. ( that's 1/2 pot or less, i'm thinking?? )

if you end up getting quartered, perhaps you'll get
a call from the complete loser and help sustain your
loss...

Yeah I think turn checks around indicate either nothing or a rock-crusher employing the same waiting game (and it would be hard to determine which), while a suck bet, if raised or just called, offers a lot more definition of your opponents' range. A suck bet may have given him a read of "I'm probably good for low, he probably has an ok flush, and hey if he doesn't (i.e. set or similar) I can still Q, 7, or 2 the river." Only the 2 would have cost you money, while he could make a big mistake when the 7 falls if you played the river deceptively.

Most of the times I would also check/call the flop. But I would surely bet the pot on the turn. I want to put pressure on Q- or K-high flushes, don't give free cards to sets or two pairs and get maximal value from other 23 hands. If your opponents don't have a hand to call the turn you will probably don't get action at the river too.

Getting quartered or getting counterfeited on the river once in a wile with such a hand is part of the game and unavoidable in my opinion. It will definitely not keep me from betting the turn.

If you check and get a bet and a raise I would probably fold because then you play for 1/2 or even 1/4 pot most of the time and you have not invested much money in the pot.

I think I'd lead on the turn almost 100% of the time.
I suck bet a lot, so that would be my play here most likely.
I also like to act fast so I'd be making a quick, weak lead out here most often. If I am getting action from another hand containing 32 I want lots in there.
