Re: How about this one...T4 in SB

I checked with the intention of raising the flop, but since everyone came along, calling is then the correct play, correct?

Right. My play is usually to check and:
1. Raise a late position bet.
2. Call an early position bet, often with the intent of donking a safe turn card.
3. Folding to a bet and a raise.
The idea is simply that the action behind you gives you a ton of valuable information that will allow you to play the hand much more optimally than you would simply betting blindly into a large field. Checking is not that dangerous here because the pot is small, and, in a large field, it's very unlikely to get checked through anyway.
