I have a question about checkraising for value.

When heads-up and you have a big hand (like a set with ragged board), it's been documented that it's usually better to checkraise on the flop.

But when it is multiway, and the probable bettor is close to you on your left, is it better to checkraise on the flop or wait for the turn to get the big bets?

I used to think you should go for checkraise on turn because you can trap your opponents for large bets. But now it seems like the flop is better, because there are alot of players who call on the flop but fold on the turn. And if you build the pot early, the players may be more inclined to call you down.

So in general, what do you think is the better round to checkraise for value?
