NL25 - middle set faces turn warfare

Its unlucky that you got sucked out on but let it be a lesson to you: do not see the turn 4 ways with any type of made hand. Whether you lead the flop or cr is up to you but you gotta do something.

c/c flop is fine against one opponent on this flop, but I probably lead this flop. Here's my reasoning:
1) With this many opponents, it's less likely for the PFR to make a continuation bet if he missed. THe fact that he only minraised preflop doesn't really help either.
2) It's unlikely that we're facing a big pair here often, unless it's the PFR's, and he will probably raise if we donk into him. Our opponents are more likely on draws or weak pairs that they won't want to build a big pot with, so they'll call.
3) C/R looks strong, but once we've checked and are facing this weak bet (predictably, since PFR only minraised he probably has a habit of underbetting), we have to. The price of playing poker is ridiculously low, and an overcall builds a mid sized pot where we will stack off even if the draw hits but where we haven't ever charged opponents to hit it.

Lead flop>C/R>>>C/C as played. Headsup, this is a good board texture to c/c flop, but not vs. this many opponents around.

am I the only one for raising preflop ? usually you get one, at most two callers, then you can generally take it down with a cbet providing they're not loose maniacs, which you would have noticed in the 3 orbits so far.
also sets in unraised pots kinda suck, you want action ACTION ACCTTIIOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNN, which is another argument for raising it up, if one of your callers hits a crappy top pair type hand you can generally get at least half his stack before he realises what time it is.
the same thing happened to me when I last took a shot at 100nl, it's just poker and generally it's the price of playing too passively when you feel things arent going your way. take a break and hang in there ^_^.

You 3bet UTG minraisers with 6-6?
