Default Hit my hand and fold when it comes?

Ok I've got a hand for y'all. This is a middle-limit game and it's typical to loose as far as preflop raising; there's been alot of cold calling of pfr's as well.

I'm in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Early guy opens with a raise and there are two callers MP and LP.

I call to close the betting.--first is that too loose? I plan on folding all but the best hands or a flush draw.

Flop:T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] rag [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check to PFRer he bets; one caller I call.

Turn is another [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I check, planning on going for the CR.

It's bet to PFR and the late caller raises. NOW WHAT??

The flop at this point is laying me about 4.5-1. I folded and the PFR folded. I feared both being beaten at this point with the obvious flush on the board in addition to a redraw from the Preflop raiser. So I figured myself to be in a raise/fold situation.
What do you all think about the entire hand and the Turn fold in particular?

YOu absolutely must reraise here. Calling is alright even, MUCH better than folding.

I guess my line of thinking was:

1) What kind of hands would this guy cold call a preflop raise with?

2) What hands would he be willing to raise with? (on the turn given the board and action)

3) Which hands that fit 1&2 can I beat?

Based on this I figured 'not many' and folded given the pot and action. Is this LINE of reasoning jacked or is it a wrong decison based on decent reasoning?

My assumptions were: a PP would reraise preflop (TT or KK in particular)

2 pair was not a possible hand to be against.

Turn card helped this guy--how else could it help other than by the 3 flush on the board.

Bad assumptions? How would you approach this?

Sorry, no place for thinking on these boards only general statements of how high up your hand is in the hand rankings of poker.

You are correct my reply wasn't too helpful. I was multitasking.

The way you describe the game both the opener and callers could have a wide range of hands.

PFR would continue to bet with any of his most likely holdings, including overpair or AK as he doesn't want a fourth club to come free.

Cold caller still has a wide range, maybe he decides its time to speed up with a set, two pair or even one pair.

This is just a laydown you can't make without a read.

Whether to call or raise is an interesting question, online I raise as a general rule. Live not sure, maybe based on read.

I wanted to call/raise badly; One interesting possibility I did not consider was that the turn raiser had A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Ko---I just made his good play into a great one by folding. I think you guys are right; I was assuming the worst and judging the cold call of the pfr to mean more than it actually did. I personally don't do that much cold calling at all so I assumed the hand seleciton of the turn raiser too narrowly as well.
