Scenarios like this is why I hate to limp and play family pots. My rule of thumb when limping is that I want to flop something big before I really go after a pot (2 pair or better). With 5 people in this pot, I'm not willing to play for all my chips with TP/DK especially with all of this action before me. I'm not sure about the raise on the flop. In most cases, yea you would want to protect your hand, but here I would probably want to keep this pot small until I had a better idea of where I stood. You had a bet and a call in front of you. You have so little invested in this pot and a very moderate hand. I honestly wouldn't mind a call here and seeing what the action is on the turn. If another club comes on the turn, big deal, you're out 80 chips, but if you catch a J or another K you could really put on some pressure. Other than that, I would want to show it down for as little chips as possible.
