It is a really nasty spot you are in. One one side you are very potcommitted with a nice hand, but on the other you are probably beat.
The small raise preflop looks like a high K or a monster pair. But with either just calling on turn is ridicoulus. Maybe with trips in KÂ´s I could understand the greed, but after seeing the third player call on the flop would make even him fear the flush. And with you very committing bet on turn he would have raised all in.
A hand like KQ or KJ in diamond is most likely.
So really, the only hand that it would make sense for any of the others to call with must have made the flush. At leaat to believe that none of them has it is not realistic.
So unless you think little of your opponents, give it up.

im checking for sure. I don’t think my opponent has the flush. Put yourself in their position on the turn with a flush draw. Are u calling 120 dollars on 9 outs? i think KK is a possibility here. i hope it gets checked around but i think we have to call a bet here. We’re so invested and there are still too many hands we can beat.

Check. See if anyone has or represents the straight. If so, it’ll depend on the player whether I fold or not.

Game over. I agree with Kx diamonds, maybe even A5 or A3 diamonds, ie a hand with more than 9 outs on the turn, and a hand thats now got you beat. With one opponenent I might check/call, but with two I’m check/folding.
