If you try to check-raise the flop and no one bets, you give a free card to a bunch of hands that probably want one.

Yeah, but with 5 players I'm pretty sure this flop hit someone, so I thought perhaps I could put in a big check raise(size depending on action). However, I think you are right, betting out is best here.
