Big draws in the SB and 5-6 players

[dealer_toe]

I just sat down at the table, and its your typical micro table. It had the highest average pot size of all the 1/2's and the couple hands I watched seemed pretty loose like usual. I know I made a mistake, but it was one of three things. Do I bet out on the flop? or do I check raise flop trying to commit as many people as possible, or do I bet out on the turn when I hit one of my draws? I played it horrible but I dont know which of the three I should have done?

then, it may be best to bet out the flop. are aggresive players behind you? if so, hope it gets raised behind you.

the turn card probably helped 1 person: you. So bet the turn, b/c it may get checked through.

Given the turn weakness showed by everyone, leading out the river is fine.

Just keep betting on this hand. You could have check/raised the flop in this hand, and I would have if the pot were bigger (say 12 or 14 SB instead of 6 SB). In unraised multiway pots I usually bet the flop and go from there. You don't really have a good reason to check this flop IMO.

I'd have bet the turn. Only a 46 beats you. When you're ahead, bet. It usually gets you more than fancy play. Plus, with this hand, betting the turn might make it look like you have something other than a flush draw, inducing a raise from other flush holders when you bet out (and you will bet out, won't you?) on the river.

Loose players can't call if you don't bet. I'd love to bet/3-bet the flop with 6 players in.

You have to bet this flop.
