I take the free turn card. I don't think our hand is best often enough to bet the turn so we get a free SD on the river with this many players in the pot. Additionally, we aren't folding better hands for 1 bet in this big pot.
Additionally, there is some non-zero chance of being c/r'd, wwhich would cost us.
Also, if the field were smaller I'd be inclined to bet the turn nearly regardless of holding, given the action. I just think there are too many players, someone is going to call you with a junk pair.

My thoughts exactly. I almost went for it since it's likely at least 2 players have [censored]. I could be ahead here once in a while and I have a great draw. But 4 players is too many. Here is the real hand.
