why did you check the turn?.... i think theres a better chance that you're against Qx and a flushdraw than a 6...

I don't think I can get away from this one so easily. I'm going to fire another shot on the turn. What are we worried about our opponent having here? QT? Or are you giving him credit for the other 6? It's possible, but I don't think we can deduce that from the call on the flop and then the bet on the turn (after you showed weakness).

I woulda fired out another bet on the turn if the BB wasn't the one who called my original bet.

Given that it is an unraised pot, I don't think folding is terrible. By all means, bet the flop, but two calls with this kind of board is one too many. Yeah, Qx and a flush draw is possible, but so is a six, and finding out which one you're looking at is going to cost you all of your stack. If the BB is doing this without a six, more power to him.
