Live 4/8 hand. Missed opportunity?

Nothing to gain by check raising the flop.

Really? There are 15 bets in the pot. (5 players in) If the others call, it's a value raise on your draw. If they fold, then hitting a 7 or 9 may win it for you if other overcards also hit. Also if they fold to a single bet coming back to them after getting raised, getting around 20-1 on their calls, that's a good thing. It's a mistake for them to fold, but again, value for you if they call.

You might also be able to c/r the turn again if you see the guy reaching for chips.

A c/r on the flop would have knocked out the 2+2er and the guy on her left, most likely, on the turn.

Not sure what you mean by this. A flop c/r knocking them out on the turn? ok. You might have combined 2 sentences here.

If they call the flop c/r, and you hit the str8, they likely have many hands they are drawing dead with that you don't want to knock them out on the turn with.

C/r this flop, then leading on the turn, they won't likely put you on a str8.
