Hmmm... I don't like this situation first to act with 4 opponents in on the flop. A bet is not likely to fold many people since most will hang on to overcards, small paris and gutshots. I would have checked hoping for a late position bet so I could check-raise and thereby thinning the field. If you manage to get it HU I think you have a good chance to take it down with a turn bet even if you don't hit you A or K. This because the LP bettor could have bet the flop on a steal attempt with overcards and will now maybe fold to a turn bet.

By betting the flop (and folding noone) I guess you somehow feel obligated to bet the turn as well? I know I have that problem sometimes and it usually only gets me raised on the turn while the pot is getting pretty big forcing me to call down...
