Ok, first off I know I played this hand pretty bad, thats why i'm here right.

Question is, what should I have been thinking here?

I'd bet the flop.

BB had a history of check raising, stopped me from betting there.
Think I should of gone ahead anyway?

in such a gigantic pot with a 2 flush and so many players isnt it better to wait until a safe turn before betting?

Torn between either a check or a bet on the flop, not too confident in this area of play with the game. I think you've got the best hand, so I'd make both pay for their draws. You have an overpair, BB could 3bet with overcards. I'm leaning towads betting.

I thnk the hand players differently from there but on the turn I'd again betting when a 6 falls. The Ace might well have you beaten, so I'd c/c.

What is villain's 3-betting range? If I had seen him 3-bet with a big A once I would check-raise the flop and lead the turn.

The two flush doesn't matter, those draws have equity to continue no matter what. Betting the flop is preferable. Yeah, almost everyone has the odds to call but it sure is better than giving out free cards when we probably have the best hand here.

I think this is a definate bet on the flop. If mp2 raises then it would leave draws calling two cold. Then again, if MP2 never raises the flop with overcards to get a possible free card then i'd be worried. With that read I could drop it right there.
If MP2 calls and BB check raises I'd make it 3-bets to make MP2 fold overcards. BB may have just paired a 6 or be on a flush draw.

Yeh, he was a tight tricky player who I put on a flush draw cause he was doing alot of semi-bluffing previously.
