River: (9.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, SB folds, BB calls, Hero?

I'm getting 11.5 on a call.
Should I call or fold? Or shouldn't I bet the flop and the turn in the first place?

With half the field left behind you, don't bet the flop. When you get called by 5 players, don't bet the turn.

I think you need to turn down the postflop aggression level a notch.
