Good [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

My main consern was my turn play, against 5 opponets should I just have checked and been ready to call it and fold if raised?

Also on the river when UTG+1 keeps betting, should I belive he has my two pair beaten and fold?

What got me thinking was that there was 5 opponets left on the turn when the flush card hit, and the third to act raises, with 3 people behind. That seems to make it more probabel that I'm beat.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm not makeing sence [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

well. i don't know if my line is the correct one...but...

it would be very wrong to check the turn. you need to lead out. there is no reason to suspect anyone has anything that can beat you. once you are raised, however, it gets more tricky, and reads on your opponent would help. for example, he could be known to play a big king like that, waiting for the turn to raise, in which case you are good...or maybe he hit hiw own 2 pair, or the flush. a case could be maybe for folding to the turn raise, but i wouldn't do it. and i couldn't bring myself to fold the river either...other people may have other opinions though. i suspect i pay off in these situations against an unknown player early in a session. i might not do so later on when i get a sense for his playing style.

Anything else is sub-optimal.

You think villain has a single pair on the turn?

I could go for a stop and go here and bet the river (I wouldn't do it and I don't think it's very good), but really I can't see three betting this turn. Any other two pair or a flush beats us, and I don't think a normal loose passive player is going to raise the turn on a flush board with just a pair.
