So flop and turn is the most debatable here and I'd like a comment on wether I could have protected these any better.
I check through on turn but would I be better off to bet and call a raise and fold river UI. Or should I bet/fold.

BB checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero bets, BB calls, UTG+1 raises, UTG+2 folds, Hero 3-bets, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.
Turn: (8.75 BB) 3 (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.

BB bets, UTG+1 raises, Hero folds, BB folds.

I understand that I maybe should have bet the turn, however say I did bet then I'd need to call a checkraise (outs to fullhouse). And then you think I should also call one more bet on the river.
If the river wasn't a spade I would've called one more bet any day but four to a flush and a flop checkraise. BB does call two colds when it comes back to him on the flop. Someone must have a draw inthere I don't see em both calling and playing like this with weak aces/kings.
I don't think my play here is all that bad. But since I'm still learning I'm not so sure either.

if the 4th flush card falls, depending on the player i may find a call or fold. i'm betting this turn for value because players will stay in with anything.
in fact, BB wasn't on a flush draw at all. UTG+1 probably had a pair of kings or aces, and got a redraw on the turn, which hit on the river. you just gave them a free card by not betting the turn.

You have to bet this turn. The vast majority of the time the board brings a flush on the turn, nobody was drawing to that flush. You definately don't wanna give people a free card to see the 4th spade, so you have to bet. Don't let yourself get scared by the fact that somebody might possibly have outdrawn you when you have a good hand. Odds are, you are getting paid off by worse hands until that river.

Ok... both of you seems to be very sure on this subject so I'll go with this line from now on.
I understand that giving a freecard is indeed bad, but I had this "feeling" that If I were to bet this I'll get checkraised right away...
If not a flush draw which range of hands do you put utg+1 or BB on then. utg+1 checkraises the flop, this makes sense if he's betting the come and building a pot however It doesn't make much sense if he has just one ace or king then I think he would have bettet out to begin with. I find the checkraise here pretty wierd and why is BB calling two colds he must have some piece of the board even though he could hace a wierd gutshot as QJoff with one of them being a spade and thereby making him bet/fold the river.
But I stand corrected and will from now on be betting similar turns.
Final question: Say I had AQ instead then I'd still bet the turn howver should I then fold to a raise. Do you fold TPTK to a raise on turn if there are 3 to a flush or call down,,?

I bet this turn because you have enough outs to call down a raise.

...and you probably have the best hand.
I only like to check behind with hands when my hand is hopeless against an opponent I can't bluff in that spot or if being raised will put me in a tough spot where I would have to fold with equity.
