Final Pot: t35582

Where did I go wrong. Possibilities:
1. Don't raise UTG. This seemed a bit too tight. People weren't playing great, and it was very possible I'd see some action for a worse hand, or maybe just steal the blinds.
2. I think the flop check is pretty clear-cut.
3. Just call the turn? Heads-up, I think that's how I play it, but with the other players, and the board coordination, giving a cheap card to people behind me could be disastrous.
4. Folding to the reraise. It was hard, but I'm pretty sure I was in the right. Despite the great pot odds, I can't see myself with more than 3 (or maybe, maybe 5).

Thoughts?
