Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, 9.
Hero raises, MP calls, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (8.33 SB) 4, 3, 6 (4 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, MP raises, Button calls, BB calls, Hero 3-bets, MP caps, Button calls, BB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (12.16 BB) 5 (4 players)
BB checks.

What's the move here - check or bet to get even more $ if your flush hits?

Check, betting loses money.

There's 4 players on the turn so you'll be putting in 25% of all the turn bets yet your flush comes in only 20%. If Button folds or someone has a set it's even worse.

You have an equity deficit so every bet you pay to see the river loses you money.

edit: pre-flop is fine

On the flop I would just call the raise. If I hit my hand I want MP2 leading the turn so I can check/raise the field. A 3-bet might freeze him or make you compelled to bet a blank. Although, it worked out.

The turn looks like an easy check. Big pot and MP likes his hand so I don't see enough fold equity here. Nor do you have a value raise.

Did you notice it's 5 handed?

Not only is it 5 handed but BB is a maniac. Shoulda added that - I knew it was gonna be capped by BB and pretty sure everyone would call.

Thanks

Opps. Easy raise. I need to pay more attention to pre-flop on these posts. It just doesn't interest me as much.
