Hero....

Ok, so I must protect against the high club on the turn. I think I should have checkraised the turn.

I'm basically looking for what line I should take starting on the turn. I've included the information about afte the turn so we try to guess how the other players would react to the check raise.

Assuming I checkraise to $80, get a call from each player, whats my river play? What if UTG calls and MP2 pushes?

If anyone pushes after the flush comes, you must fold. It's that simple.

I would just bet the turn rather than planning for a check-raise. And then bet the river. And fold to a large raise either time.

If you check-raise the turn and get calls, I would either check the river, or throw out a medium bet on the river ($80 again.) If you check-raise and get reraised, that is the clearest proof that you are dead and must fold.
