Lost playing flush draws OOP...your thoughts please

I'm interested in hearing how others play flush draws when OOP. My default line is to build the pot in the event that I make my flush. Also, I think leading does provide some deception to my hand and being the aggressor has some degree of inducing better hands to fold...

Assume the following: $50NL 6-max, your opponents are the usual tight/passives and loose/passives. Stack sizes are roughly equal.

Hero is in SB with T9s

Preflop: 2 limpers, Hero completes, BB checks

Flop: X X X with 2 of Hero's suit
Hero bets pot, 2 callers

Turn: X (not Hero's suit & doesn't noticably help the board)
Hero bets 3/4 pot, 1 caller

River: X (brick)
Hero checks, Villian bets 1/2 pot, Hero folds...

Your line(s) please?

your line is fine. its annoying to have to check fold, but its usually the best thing to do.

i would raise preflop though.

Gabe you need to hit us with your six max guide.

why not try for free river? Passive isn't going away on the turn.

Is leading with a flush draw even decptive? Not saying you shouldn't do it... but you are either getting ignored by a moron playing his hand not yours, or someone who has maybe heard of betting draws and fold equity.

leading with a flush draw is ONLY deceptive when you balance it well with air/middle pair/monsters.

A lot of poor 6max players think leading oop especially in a raised pot is clever. It isnt its actually a huge advertisement of their hand. Especially when they dont balance it well. PT helps here.
I like the lead line but dont just bet ur draws like this.
