Wait a minute. Are you guys saying this flop bet against 4 players is standard?
I very rarely bet the flop against 4 players with UI AT if I'm not in good position so I can take a free card.

Betting may well buy position and clean up outs, and the flop is likely to have missed everyone. You have a bunch of clean outs when behind, and may well still have the best hand.

I think the flop bet is fine. It will certainly make the hand much easier to play later. If you don't bet, the hand we'll often get bet behind you anyway and you're then stuck peeling to a weak draw with no initiative.
