I am not sure you need to raise the flop if you want to continue in this hand. What does UTG check here that will call? I dont think he has a pp so AK is prolly the only hand that will peel if you just call. Is that a disaster?

If we have the best hand it would seem like a disaster to let the other 2 peel, but then again when MP bets 5 way we often don't have the best hand. I'm never sure how often we need to be ahead to raise for protection. Still, if we're ahead and call we can expect both others to peel in a pot of this size, and then the best we can hope for is MP to check through the turn and then we have to dodge so many outs twice, plus not get bluffed out.
