That silly TV hand.....

Hi guys
I sent this hand to the programme last night. The betting made the play straightforward. However i wanted to ask about different scenarios. Unfortunately this part didn't get through by some honest mistake.

   Would you give me your opinion on how to play/bet in two different scenarios please...

 A) if all checked around to me...(i think 1/2 pot bet to protect v flush and get money in? No?)
 B) say there was  1/2pot raise by one of the players lets say the initial aggressor(i think check the remaining stacks to see if AI is likely by player/players behind...if yes then call...if no rer/ai?) Sometimes i don't feel that i'm getting enough value on hands as i make having the nuts (at that stage) obvious. I'd like to be a little less 'Bull in a China Shop' and a bit more subtle so i can get greater value than i feel i do.
What should i be considering in these positions?

PS it was rather funny to see the look on Tkay's face. "WHAT? Are you asking if you should call AI with trip 6's?" Though admittedly i was just think "Steve , you look a right plonker now"
I'm sorry if the pan boiled over on the show thread guys. I only wanted them to say there had been an error and would show the hand with the pertinent q's at another time. I over reacted and i apologise.
Anyway, here is the hand and i appreciate your thoughts. Any other 'scenarios? Please feel free.....

    in reply to A) .. if checked around yeah anything around 1/2 pot would be fine. You'd be betting for value. Not for protection - altho obv youd be protecting your hand anyway but mainly itd be for value. 

    in reply to B) yeh pretty much. Might not have to be all in but you can certainly raise. 

    You can never fold here obv.
