what is the question?

Looks fine to me.

I thought about raising the turn. Get SB to fold his gutshot, maybe get a free showdown. But considering that UTG+1 likely has two pair and SB could easily be open-ended or have a club, calling down is fine.

Well.. like how bad would have been to raise again on the turn and then most likely check behing the river?

that was going to be my advice

I dont think raising the turn is a good idea, unless you can fold to a 3bet. Turn is a very scare card.

Without a read, it's tough to say.

Are you willing to fold to a turn 3-bet (from either UTG or SB)? Are you willing to fold if SB or UTG donks the river after you raised the turn?

The pot is pretty big, so raising now might save you the pot if the river gives SB a winning hand. OTOH, if you raise hoping to take a free showdown but the river brings another club or puts a 4-straight on the board, you're going to have to fold if someone bets. Getting to showdown cheaply with TPTK against an unknown is also beneficial.

This decision is pretty close (for me; other, smarter people may have more compelling arguments).

I don't like this because you will often be 3-bet here. Even if you aren't, there's a good chance you are behind to two-pair. I play this hand the same way.
