If the last card had only been a spade...

My bet on the turn was weak. Should I have bet the pot right there?

Now that I think about it I'm disgusted by my turn bet. I should have AT LEAST bet the pot, I feel, perhaps even gone all in. The only hand that would have beaten me would have been 5/7.

Yes you should have bet the pot on the turn. At least one of those guys is looking for a heart. Raise on the flop was way too small too.

ChezJ is an unknown quantity at this point

you gave the guy the exact odds he needed on the turn to chase.

Tough call on this hand. You had 4 guys going to the turn on a well raised pot. Guarantee that at least a couple of the guys had a pocket ace, and UTG+1 probably had the Ah to complete the nut flush. I would also peg one of the guys on an overpair, though with a 234 on the flop and a few guys diving right in, I wouldn't hold on to that pair for very long.

The $2.50 bet on an $8 pot holding onto the 2-6 Straight wasn't really strong enough since a $2.50 bet into a $10.50 pot is giving a flush draw decent value for his bet. A $4-5 bet should have scared him off of his flush draw.
