Table was loose passive. I was concentrating on getting outplayed at the 2+2 table so my individual reads were not fantastic.

BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, Button calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

I think this play is entirely dependent on what you think this player has. In general I like not raising on this flop and hitting it on the turn.

Good plan to wait for the turn to raise. I hope he wasnt betting a big hand, or a diamond draw with a K in it. Was a good play though.

I'd raise the flop on this one. I'm a big raise the turn guy, but that's better for when the turn card will make you want to fold. Few cards will do that here as you have a straight draw, a backdoor flush draw, and will invariably be going to the river.

Since that is the case, go ahead and jam it up now with a hand that figures to be best hand with a reasonable draw. You still have 3 people behind you, make em pay two to get there on you. Plus, UTG1 might 3-bet, allowing me to smoothcall and raise the turn anways.

Clark is right on here. Your pot equity is much higher on the flop here than it is in hands that you prefer to raise the turn with. Jam it up on the flop.
