I would never play these hands but just saw a lot of people limp in and two passive players were to my left so I took the chance that they wont raise. Should I have bet the turn. I had nothing but a draw.

1) The problem is that MP1 wasn't being hyper aggressive. He's stuck between 2 raisers with a flush on the board. I might go into call down mode after the flop cap. with Loose aggro players you have to call down and only raise with great hands. Probably would have saved you 2 BB.

2) Bet out on the flop. They have odds to call anyways and You can't be giving draws free cards.

3) Don't check/raise the river. You Can only do this if you are 100% certain someone else will bet.

4) Yes, you have to bet the flop.

5) Mp2 is still to early to call with that. Everything else looks fine.

6) Played fine.

7) I think it is fine they way you played it. The flop cap let you get control of the hand on the turn. If you get raised on the turn, you might think about dumping then.
