I would pot it. The only way you're going to get action on this hand is if someone else has broadway also, and if they do, then you may as well get your freerolled pot charged up.

I disagree. If someone has the nut straight on the flop, a small bet will get them to play back at you, you can at this point shove back. If however they have some marginal holding, then a small bet of around 25% of the pot will get them to doubt your holding.

This is how I played the hand through in the end. Remember that I bet big a lot of times, so when I bet small it looks like i'm either uncertain about my hand to someone, or I really want them to call.
As I have pointed out in previous posts, if they don't call because you bet too much, then you've lost money. What I did particularily with the hand is make my holding look like a steal on the river. It's often important to think about what your bet looks like to another person. If the situation was reversed, what would you think about someone betting $6 into a $24 pot on the flop, then $6 again when a flush hits and the pot is $36.
