I've been working on sensing turn check raises a lot lately, because it's part of my game that gets me into a lot of trouble. I'm usually overaggressive on the turn and fall into a lot of traps. I've started to check behind more turns when I think I'm getting set up for a check raise.
This hand isn't technically short handed, but after the first 3 folded I played it just like I would in MP at a 6-max table, and I trust this forum for advice more than SS.

With all that action I'm thinking at least one guy has either a flush draw or an OESD, although I don't have any real reads on any of these guys.
Turn: (10 BB) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks.
I think that card is ugly, and I opt to check behind. Anyone agree with this play?
