so you want to play 6 max

The biggest problem with 6 max play is dealing with aggression.This is a typical hand which you have to decide is your baby flush good.

fold everywhere, that hand sucks to play out of position

I think preflop is ok if UTG is a fairly light raiser. There are a lot of very aggressive players in this game, and I think your hand plays ok for one more bet.

Check and fold on the flop. This is not a good flop for your hand. And if you bet and it is two more bets back to you, definitely fold.

If your not going to fold on the turn, I think you should raise. Actually, that might be the most correct option now since the pot is so bloated from the flop action.

apple I am pretty laggy in this game but what are you trying to push out with a turn raise?

A4, A3, some 8s, and possibly a bigger flush (very optimistic!)

I guess it depends on how the UTG plays. There are some players that wouldn't fold any of these. I really wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have much of hand. And if he does have a flush, especially jack high, facing two bets might be enough to scare him away.

very interesting thoughts - if you feel your good I can see your logic.

river is the Jc and it gets checked through.
