Re: A9s six players see flop.

Personally I think this is a clear bet on the turn. You're investing a tiny % of the pot to possibly increase your chance to win it greatly.

I bet the turn for 2 reasons. 1. To fold any unpaired Ax hands that might still be around. 2. I thought it was +ev if I got 3 callers, but I realised that was wrong after looking over the hand.

Both these reasons are wrong.
1. Even if a bet fold a better ace every time it would be -EV. By folding an A you're buying 2 outs which will only come in 4% of the time. You're buying 4% of the pot. 0.04*11.25= 0.45
You're investing one BB to win at best 0.45BB (in reality less than 0.2BB since you'll not often fold a better ace here).
2. As you said, this is just plain wrong.
Take the turn free card.

The bet could cause AK,AQ or AT to fold, and even cause some weak tight players to make a big mistake and fold a hand like JT fearing you have an overpair (the Hero's actions so far have been consistent with the play of AA-JJ).

A bet will very rarely fold a better hand. And closse to never make you win this hand UI.

Also if you hit your flush, you may get some extra bets because players may not believe you would bet in that spot with the nut flush draw.

On the other hand checking might make your opponents bet into you when you hit your flush making you able to raise.
