This is my first HH I'm posting, which is probably obvious to most people who care to look at my post count. I'm relatively new to poker, and very new to SH play (under 2k hands). I'm pretty sure this isn't a typical 6max hand what with the multiway action. I'm confident my hand is good unless I'm losing to another set, but left feeling I could have won some more bets somewhere. Any suggestions or analysis would be much appreciated.
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)
Preflop: Hero is CO with 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif. MP posts a blind of $1.
Hero calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, <font color="CC3333">MP (poster) raises</font>, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls.
Flop: (8 SB) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">MP bets</font>, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG calls.
Probably should have raised the flop. Thought about it, then said to myself, "I'll just wait until the turn to pop them with the raise."
Turn: (5.50 BB) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP raises</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls.
I called the two cold because I wanted UTG along for the ride and thought a reraise might knock him out. I don't really like my line here, but here's the reasoning: calling two cold probably keeps UTG in for an extra BB from him, which is an extra BB (or two) I lose from MP depending on whether he calls or reraises. So my net on the turn for calling 2 cold is 0 or -1. I think (hope) I can make that up on the river. Still not sure at all about the coldcall.

Final Pot: 17.50 BB
