P2, P3, and P4 check it to me and I check along to P1 who bets, P2 calls, P3 and P4 fold, and I now raise. Both players call. Three of us to fifth for about 3.75BB.

This is a really bad time to CR. Your two opponents now have to put in 2 bets each, and each will feel that much more committed to their hands...make them much more willing to call 1 bet on 5th. The right play is to bet out, or smooth call and bet out on 5th.

I'm not going to totally disgree here, but...

My intention was to check/call, but then when it was going to be just three handed I couldn't resist raising. There was no reason to assume either of them had much of anything, although I figured P1 for a pair of kings or jacks, but P2 could really have anything there. It was quite possible that I had them both in really bad shape, and I'm missing a lot of value if I don't raise.
