However the turn card could bring all sorts of pain: Any 6, any 8, any 10, any J and especially any heart is going to make your hand seem a lot weaker. For that reason I'd bet the flop and I'd bet big. Allowing 4 people to see a turn card multiplies the chances of being drawn out on by 4.
I appreciate your advice Brussels, thank you! Bare with me while I air my logic for this play .....so the strategy that I am following advocates against donk betting ever basically in order primarily to protect our OOP checking range, so, as I don't really wish to deviate from this, if I were to bet this flop then it would be a X/Raise. At the time that was my plan. However, it did check around, and one of the many cards that i'd prefer not to see hit and I decided to give up there. I only called the turn bet because everyone else did and the odds were so enticing to fish for a boat.
