top pair v many draws and aggressive

[Silverback]

Normally I fold this pre flop, but with 4 players I called.

CO was very aggressive AF 4 post flop, comments all streets please.

Good call preflop, check-raise flop or turn, call on river.

[The Truth]

check raise flop for sure. You want to check raise these real aggro players, trust me.

[Silverback]

i thought by betting flop and CO raising it would knock out players, this still not best line to take with this hand?
