A session with loose players, many multiway pots, but not good cards to take advantage, except almost once...

0,05/0,10 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.7 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K♦, T♦
UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls, MP3 raises, 2 folds, SB calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (12,00 SB) Q♦, J♦, Q♣ (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets, SB calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, MP2 raises, MP3 calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

Here it is, the monster draw. 15 outs, but only 2 for the nuts (blast that second Q!) one of which is of course for a Royal Flush...
I was first going to c/r the flop. but when it came back to me decided to c/c instead. With 5 opponents, it's very likely someone has a Q, and I' won't scare him away. For the rest of the hand I merely called everything, hoping for the nuts.

Turn: (10,00 BB) 4♣ (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP2 bets, MP3 calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

River: (14,00 BB) 6♦ (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP2 bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 16,00 BB

Was this correctly played? Should I have c/r the flop and/or the turn?

Tough hand.
I tought about c/r a bit but couldn't find a clear answer for that. Because if you raise you might get HU with MP3 if he 3-bets (you will be behind if he does so) so maybe going for one more call is better here. But as I said I'm not clearly sure.

Maybe the best is not to try a c/r. Maybe a donk is better here because the flop is 6 handed you have value if at least two call and MP3 might check because he only has A-high or a small PP or nothing at all. A freecard wouldn't be very bad but you loose value. So if you donk and 2 call you earn something.

The turn is not a c/r. Only c/c here because its not for value and I noone will fold a J or Q here.

You should donk the river. If he only has the Q he will check behind too often because he migh fear a flush (3 players called on the turn) and so hew will probably only bet with a FH which you have t o pay of.
