why are you trying to checkraise the flop? there's only one person to act before you and after villain, and you're going to get three bet on this board really, really often, methinks.

I don't think that he gets 3bet very often at all. But that's probably a good thing if all the other guys come along.

OP: I usually fold preflop and check the turn but both are very very close.

(I only play live, comments probably don't apply to online)

Preflop: I think I'd call if there were some more players in this pot. I'm kinda a nit and fold.

Flop: I lead flop and hope to trap some callers before the preflop aggressor raises since there are two between us. Were you waiting to checkraise the original raiser; if so, I don't see what good this would have done, it might just get only the two of us to the turn destroying our pot equity edge. As played, things worked perfect with BB betting and with 4 players trapped I think the check/raise now is standard at this point.

Turn: I simply check/call. I don't think we're going to bluff 4 people out of the pot here and even freeing up an A out might not be too helpful.

River: I check/fold. I don't think A high is going to win against this many players on this board.

Not regularly on Stars, Full Tilt, etc but I'm sure they pop up every once in a while.

I also hear there are some rather loose sites that Americans can't play on but unfortunately I'm American so I wouldn't know too much about that.
