Give them a free card to make their hand better, so they will lose more money to you. If after turn everybody still checks, I'd go for a 2/3 pot bet or something that would look like I'm bluffing them out. If someone reraises, I'll call. On the river, depending on the opponent and the river, I'd try to check-raise. That's just the way I handle flopped houses, it might not be the best way to though.

depends on the action, texture, player tendencies, effective stacks vs. pot size...

just remember the goal is to get as much money in the middle as possible. however you see to do that.

my tendency is NOT to give a free card unless it's an exceptionally dry board and the players are fairly passive/tight.

It must be called the same way and the same amount as usual. Do not let them recognize who is your game.

I think you can give free cards and hope someone hits. Less you can extract much because your hand is way ahead.

I agree with rytciaq. You don't want to run off any player. You will have to check post-flop and hope someone will catch a pair or two on the turn. With my experience, someone will take a shot at the pot anyway. So just calling would be best, then try to get all you can on the river.

I try to slow roll it a bit but I keep my eye on what could go wrong as well and if I am getting nervous I push harder.

Depends a great deal on the opponents and the board and how things went pre-flop.

On a wet board against opponents who like to chase draws, you bet pretty high if you know they are gonna call.
Against people who call with anything, you bet.
Against people who you think have a good hand and will not fold, you bet.
Against aggressive opponents, you check and bet on the turn if it's checked to you, or you call turn and bet river, or whatever you think will make them think you have a weak hand and can be pushed out of the pot.

Wait when draw appears on table or cards that opponents might have, then bet. There is probability that someone caught on table and calls.

And you are losing every single bit of value from weak trips, medium to small pocket pairs, and sometimes A-high will call on a paired board.

Bad strategy.
You can't stand around waiting for the board to have a draw and not be aggressive when it doesn't. Besides, when it gets a draw now you have to make a pretty small bet because the pot size is small, which means that you are only getting value around 15% of the time, and from those 15 you will still lose 20% or so. It's chaos.

For example, if the pot on the flop was $5, the most you can bet Turn is $5. Anything more than that is a a donk-donk (twice as donkey as just betting) bet in my opinion. Your opponent can think it's a good price to pay and he is actually right in this example. Because even if he completes his draw you can't really fold on the River. I'd prefer a bet/3-bet line on the flop, and blind shove turn as a general case. Much easier and simpler.

Never let them see a free card,put your bets when you have the best hand,if they have something they will continue...you must bet for value always!!!!!!If you are heads up you can check but now you had two opponents,you must protect your hand....
