I'm saying that leading into a 5-way, you can't realistically protect the hand - period.

The check raise opportunity was one brought about by this specific pattern of check/betting. I wouldn't even propose c-r'ing a limp+2/3 callers. The fact that it was just weak-button, non-c-r'ing SB, made it an ideal situation to take it down here.

One of those TPTK hands that you really shouldn't have an overly eager desire to (or belief you will/can) take down.
