raise the turn or river. i think the turn is the better place to do it considering the 3 flush out there. you need to get value for this straight becasue they dont come that often.

Yes for several reasons.

1. Info. There's 3 clubs on the board now, could be a made flush for someone. Probably not, a flush draw should bet out the flop with that many players in. There's a less likely but possible higher str8 out there too. If you raise and get 3-bet, you can fold knowing you're probably beat.. You dont know how much anyone likes their hand here. UTG+2 bets on the 3rd /images/graemlins/club.gif, is he for real? Find out.

2. Draws. Everyone can see there's a 1-card str8 on the board, and the 5 not THAT great... It's probably best for now, but anyone with a 9 has an OESD, anyone with a /images/graemlins/club.gif (and they're probably out there) is drawing to a flush. Don't assume you're beat yet, but assume anyone staying in is drawing. You have a made hand, make the draws pay. Which kinda leads into:

3. $$$. You have good position on the better, your raise will trap 2 and only 1 will have to call 2 cold. The players with 1 in already will certainly call another with any draw.

Bummer river card, if you raised the turn and he calls, then his leading the river would be a significantly more aggressive move, and I'd fold in a second. I don't know that I even call that river bet.. He bet into 2 opp's, I expect you're beat.
