I figured the C/R was good on the flop for a free card on the turn. Am I wrong about that? I knew no one was going to raise me. I would Hvae C/r the turn but i figured they would have just checked around if I check.

I usually dont play it this way. I would have folded preflop table was just to damn passive not to play it.

The problem with a C/R out of the SB is that you have to check first again. Sometimes passive players will check along, but usually with a field that large, one or two of them will still bet. You invest 2 SB's, tie yourself to the pot (a gutshot isn't that strong of a hand), and if you don't hit that miracle on the turn, you have to check -- and HOPE they check behind you (which some will, but in a field of 6 people, someone has a piece of this -- and they'll bet, because they're oblivious to the C/R potential).

I love the free card play when you have position, and have occasionally used it from the SB/BB, but it works significantly less often then.
