Default Need a line check in the BB

I'm new at the table (less than 10 hands) so no particular reads.

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO (poster) raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls.

With 5 players in, I don't think I can let this go for either of these bets. No? Yes?

Flop: (15.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, MP calls, CO calls, Button folds, Hero ?

A 2-card flush against 3 opponents playing 6-max...I'm pretty happy with the check-raise, and my inclination is to cap for value since I don't think anybody's going anywhere. What do YOU do?

You are frequently going to be up against a set here, so I don't think your flush alone has sufficient equity to cap. With your straight draw, though, cap away. Cry if the board pairs on the river after you hit on the turn.

Nope. vnh. I'm honestly pretty surprised you didn't get raised on that river. What were they packing?

I was, too, but I was prepared to call one back to me.

MHIG
UTG had J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
MP had A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Edit: Oh, and CO (poster and PFR) accused us of being "...a bunch of colluters [sic]..." on the turn.

IMM you should not be trying to tie 4 others to the pot - you should be trying to win it because it was already huge...

. . . and on the river if you're raised once you call, and if raised twice you consider folding?

I like the line so far, and would agree with a cap on the flop here.

Fold p/f first time around, call second, cap flop.

Eh, it's a little loose, but not too bad 5 ways.
