Did I play this draw correctly?

Good point. UTG's move looks pretty strong. Also, though, he might raise us on the turn, which faces the field with 2 cold and probably kills any value we could get from it.

Thanks for the comments. I agree the PF call was marginal -- been making a point to try and play a few marginal hands. This one is easy to dump if the flop misses. No math on whether this is + or - EV, but was pretty sure that BB and MP1 were coming along.

Looks like I should have check called the turn.

You could make a strong argument for betting out the turn. I ran this hand through pokerstove, and it showed that your pot equity was somewhere around 40 percent vs. five opponents.
I'm not sure if that's accurate (b/c the five opponents are viewed to have random hands in pokerstove), but if you're anywhere remotely close to that, you're going to make money by betting.
Thoughts?

Assign random hands to your oppoenents is a terrible way of figuring out your pot equity.
