I think the debate about overcalls is secondary. I agree with the raise on the flop. But IMO, a major mistake was made on the turn by calling a single bet and not raising. On the turn, the pot is big (9 BB so far) and you've now got a nut flush draw in addition to the nut straight draw. You've got to protect this hand and try to drive opponents out. I'd have raised the turn. You'd create a difficult decision for both LMP and SB to CC 2 bets, given the pot odds and number of opponents. With BB's hesitation on the river, he may have folded a raise on the turn, too. You definitely don't want to give 3 opponents another draw on the river to beat you -- without paying a price.

I honestly can't see a turn raise as anything but spewing. Two players behind you have CCed a flop raise, so a flopped flush draw behind you is definiately possible, and you cannot fold to a 3bet. THREE other players have shown interst in the hand to the tune of two bets on the flop, I cannot imagine you will win this hand UI no matter what you do. This is a pure drawing situation, and you need to hit your draw as cheaply as possible, since you are never winning the hand unless you make something on the river.

It seems to me that you'd want to protect a made hand with one card to come, not a draw since you are never cleaning up any outs here.
