Check, betting loses money.
There's 4 players on the turn so you'll be putting in 25% of all the turn bets yet your flush comes in only 20%. If Button folds or someone has a set it's even worse.
You have an equity deficit so every bet you pay to see the river loses you money.

edit: pre-flop is fine
On the flop I would just call the raise. If I hit my hand I want MP2 leading the turn so I can check/raise the field. A 3-bet might freeze him or make you compelled to bet a blank. Although, it worked out.
The turn looks like an easy check. Big pot and MP likes his hand so I don't see enough fold equity here. Nor do you have a value raise.

Did you notice it's 5 handed?

Not only is it 5 handed but BB is a maniac. Shoulda added that - I knew it was gonna be capped by BB and pretty sure everyone would call.
Thanks

Opps. Easy raise. I need to pay more attention to pre-flop on these posts. It just doesn't interest me as much.

Ok good. I checked - it checked around. River was a 4 and I folded to maniac who had 24 diamonds.
