I bragged I made the right play, but was it?

I thinks it's good. Sounds like you'll be in for a wild ride on this hand, so might as well raise now just in case some of them are willing to fold. You're gonna have odds to see the turn whether you raise now or have to call a raise when in comes back to you, so take the aggressive option.

Why do you want them to fold if anything you want more players in because according to you, you are behind at this point.
