Raise pre-flop. That extra SB changes the dynamics of the hand. The way you chose to play it: I think you have to bet this flop. Given the amount of players in the hand, this is about as good a flop as you could hope for that doesn't hit you in the head. You really, really, really don't want this to get checked through.

Turn fold is fine.

Bet the flop, I would probably fold to a raise. Turn is an easy fold. Pot is small, multi-way and there are two overcards on the board. I don't think I would raise this preflop from UTG+1.

You absolutely must bet this flop. You probably have the best hand and you need to protect against bottom pair, single overcards, backdoor draws, and pp's.

I am new at this so I may be way off base.

Assuming that this is a fairly loose table (6 are in on the flop) I would bet pre-flop and again on the flop.

The fold on the turn looks like the right play with 4 players still in the hand. It may have been different if you narrowed the field a little bets pre-flop and on the flop.

If you could list your reasons for NOT betting the flop, I think a lot of people here could show you why it's incorrect.
