OOP, PP that flops a set w/6 to the flop.

Check-raise the flop. You want to thin the field as much as possible here.

Why on earth do you think forcing everyone else with facing two cold is NOT a good idea? With five other players, any drawable board is potentially dangerous, and here you have a very obvious straight draw.

I think that you just tried to get too tricky here. When you check, I'm assuming it was intending to check raise, but in order to do this you have to know who is going to bet. The pre-flop raiser is the most likely suspect, but with the pre-flop raiser on your right you should bet out and hope he raises so you can 3-bet. Also the pot is already pretty big so I wouldn't feel too bad about facing the field with 2 bets and folding some people out. Sure you have a set, but there are draws out there that could beat you.

On the turn, I still think that you have to bet out. Now there is a backdoor flush draw, and an even better straight draw than on the flop. If you get raised you can re-evaluate, but remember this board looks just as scary to everyone else and you probably still have the best hand.
