It seems as though its almost automatic for everyone here (and many that I face on the table) to Check/Raise on the flop w/ a draw to the nut (sometimes non-nut) flush or OESD when in EP.
If the field is big enough, I can see how it is a value bet and that you want more money going into the pot. For that reason I usually bet out when I think there will be enough callers and often am glad when it's raised behind me (especially w/ a few callers in between me and raiser). It seems as though posters do it to take the lead more than to build the pot. AM I RIGHT ABOUT THIS? (The cases I have in mind are not reasonable semi-bluff opportunities as there is little chance everyone will fold.)
If so, why would you want the lead out of position w/o a made hand?
If someone could either explain or point me to a thread that would, I would appreciate it.
