so, raise no good because:

consensus on capping river?
[/ QUOTE ]
That about sums up my reasoning.
Like I said, I wouldn't cap the river, but as others have pointed out, it's tough to imagine your opponents cold-calling with 85 or 98, so maybe you should. The fact that there are three other opponents in gives you equity if you're chopping (and the best case scenario seems like a chop).
I'll take the cheap way out and say you should have bet\reraise\called on the river.
By the way, if I had mis-clicked and raised the flop, I'd also bet the turn. With three other callers and all that dead money in the pot, you've got equity for a bet (looking for a flush only; forget about the Jack). It looks like UTG cold-called with an OESD, so he probably raises the turn. Maybe he just calls to get calls from the two behind him. Either way, bet the river. The board shows four to a straight, so you can't be sure anyone will bet for you.
