With so many people in the pot, you should probably have just led at the flop, and start to build a monster pot. You don't mind if the backdoor straight and flush draws fold to your flop bet. The initial preflop raiser probably won't let go of his hand for one bet on the flop, and in the party 15 game I am sure plenty of others will also be happy to put a bet in on the flop. I would just take the lead the whole way in a pot like this, where you figure to get several callers anyway. If you get raised on the flop or turn, great, put some more bets in. Or if you get raised on the flop, just call and then go for the turn checkraise. Letting the flop get checked through is pretty bad with so many players getting a free look at the turn. River I might bet and just call a raise, or even check call.
