I normaly bet the flop.
If i had checked, I would cr the flop immediately and not wait till the turn.

Given your line i definetly don't want to pay two bets on the river, but c/c seems bad, too, so i usually would bet. Fold if either utg raises and button calls or utg calls and button raises. If one folds and the other raises it's really though, but the pot is so big that you usually have to call. Some reads really would have helped.

Checkraising the flop is fine but if it gets checked around I think you should bet the turn. I would b/f the river.

c/r the flop. Bet / fold the river. I might raise pre-flop, too.

KTs is a great 4-way hand especially since noone showed any strength...I would raise pre-flop and bet out flop.

Indeed i went with a b/f river, he popped me and i reluctantly released.

Also i think raising PF is likely a good idea as well.

I raise preflop, otherwise I think checkraising a flop this uncoordinated is ok.
