Why cap 4th? You have one ace left that improves your hand whilst you have 2 boards which could easily be drawing for a straight and one of which is likely to make a low.

If anyone has got trips then you are almost drawing dead for half the pot and you are highly unlikely to scoop this.

[lane mcbride]

no. you are only playing for half the pot and you have a good chance of getting outdrawn. unfortunately your opponents aren't folding whether you cap it or not... with that many hands in the pot I think your reverse implied odds beg you to just hold on for as little invested as possible. if the the guy with the 4, 5 and the guy with the 4,3 have four to a low (which they most likely do) they could very easily have straight draws. notice that there are no 8's left and only one ace left(which make straight draws more likely)... presuming they have a four low.

that being said, if they both catch blanks on fifth, I would go ahead and bet
