The turn i would prefer to check (but might bet/fold out of habit!)to see the river for free.

This isn't a good strategy. If we are raising the flop, it's because we think we have the best hand. The turn was an excellent card for us. There is no reason to not bet, especially with flush draws being in both opponents ranges.

If I'm playing I'm raising pf, depends on the cast of charaters tho. I wouldnt hate a fold and a call is fine too.... gee, I relayed a lot of information in that sentence didnt I? Maybe.... raise>>call>fold?

I raise the flop and call turn with 4 outs. I'm calling the river but I hate it.

The turn may have been an excellent card for us, but we still may be way behind, and our position, if we raise leaves us trapped inbetween two opponents. You may be right that checking is bad strategy, but i think in this case, the money saved by not betting (because of a threat of a re-raise) is better. It is possible the BB is slow playing the trips because there are two people doing the betting for him. I dont think we are ahead, i think we are drawing. And by keeping the pot smaller, if a raising war does erupt on the river, we have the option to get out.

Don't play off-suite cards in a bad position.

As played fold the river, your hand is never good

I don't think this is true. It may not be good often enough to call here, but I think there are times that he has something funny like an overpair or just a bluff.

One guy bet/called the flop and one guy call/called the flop. Either could have a queen with a kicker that we now beat, or a flush draw or an underpair, or ace high. Reading that action as us being behind is MUBSy.
