With 5 players, I don't hate not betting the turn, and you're getting odds to hit one of your 4 clean outs (Ks, Js, Jd, Jc) so you should call here.

Folding the river is fine, with 5 players to the turn and a flush card hitting on the river, I don't think you're good here 1/13, not counting that you don't close the action.

I probably would have bet the turn, but I agree with meep that checking is reasonable. One argument I have against checking is that it's an open invitation for somebody to bluff at you. In this case you were calling anyway, so that's not such a big deal. One argument in favor of checking is that if you bet out and get raised, you have to call the raise but you'll regret having bet.

The river fold seems normal. I would have called one bet, but not two.

The Ks is NOT a clean out as it completes a flopped OESD to any jack out there...
