Default Re: .25/.50 LO8 trapped between heavy action on river

Very good responses, thank you all.

The other nineteen possible river cards will not enable a better possible high hand, but with this many opponents seeing the flop, you should expect to get quartered between 33% and 40% of the time.

Wow, this is a lot higher than I expected. I need to be a bit more aware about the possibility of getting quartered for the high half of the pot in large, multiway pots.

After reading the responses, I would still be inclined to raise on the flop to define my hand/get rid of random middling draws. However, I would probably check/call the turn, as some of you have suggested.

If there were say, only 3 people to the turn (rather than 6), would check/calling be the best play or would I want to protect my hand by betting?
