SB checks, Hero bets t250, UTG+1 folds, CO raises to t500, SB folds, Hero raises all-in t1305, CO calls t805 (pot was t2205).

I think we are getting it in on this flop, but with that many opponents should you try a check/RAI ??

I think how you played it is fine, you have a back door straight, 2nd nut flush draw and top pair.
You are rarely, if ever, far behind here.

I am not afraid to get it in on this flop, but vs 3 opponents behind to act behind you I think a check/raise-All-In makes sense. We do not fear a possible turn card and we might get some more (dead) money into the pot.
In addition to that we don't like a flat call on the flop that much if we miss our flushdraw on the turn. Then we are a pretty clear underdog against TPTK hands.

I am just trying to take down probe bet and some honor ;0 Who grinds up from 50$ to 250$ the quickest !
Still playing on Party, but not running too well right now

So I need to pick up some $$$ and some self-confidence before going back to Low-Mid Stakes on Party

I might try to build a BR on Stars but to get used to the srtucture and the opponents I decided to grind that out
