Lead the flop.

Agreed.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread.

Why is leading the flop better? There are 6 players, and it isn't a rag flop -- it is sure to be bet. It is also a dangerous board, so you don't want everyone coming along (although you don't really want to scare everyone off either).

With a check-raise, you can get out a couple of the lesser draws, and you've got a good chance of someone with a decent draw getting all their chips in against you, which you want in this situation since there are only three hands that beat you, and only one that would have limped preflop.

I guess I'm just asking what you are trying to get out of leading the flop.
