Re: are we liking this turn check/raise?

HEFAP suggest c/r on the turn w/ top pair A LOT more than I do. Here it was a large pot, lots of folks, and I decided I'd risk a free card on the turn hoping to get a c/r and knock out some guys who have a piece of the board and prevent them from drawing out on me. The pot was large enough to give gutshots and 5outers odds to draw to the river. Good use of c/r or no?

HPFAP is written for a tight aggressive game. For this type of play to work, all you need is the aggressive part. If you knew that a late position player would bet their hand (either for value or as a semi-bluff), then the check-raise is fine.
But you should really ask yourself what a check-raise attempt tries to accomplish. It's not just about driving out other players.......
