I like the c/f > b/f. I doubt a reasonably sized bet here is going to get everyone to fold and the chances of you improving on the river are slim as one or more or your cards are likely to be in your opponents hands already. Of course, you could be drawing dead already.

Anyone else? FWIW I don't re-raise an UTG raiser this deep unless one of the people in the pot is a known idiot; I think you're much more likely to get value from weaker hands post-flop if you just call. More interested in comments on my flop and turn play though.

On the flop you have good relative position on the preflop opener without betting. I would check and see what develops.

4 way on the turn OOP after a decent flop bet, TPTK is trash. Your plan seems fine to me.

c/r->f flop? i think your line is good, just offering up an alternative which might've won you the pot. c/r on flop prob isn't that good though, idk.
