I think any bet on the flop induces folds all around in this situation. If I had middle set things might be different, someone might hold 9-x to call. Players here routinely call down light, middle pair or worse. But 5:1 odds, I would have thought someone would have called too.

I feel that the approach of trying to stack 2nd-best hands and draws (i.e. betting the flop) will pay you off better than trying to win bluffs from nothing hands (i.e. checkraising the flop) given the large number of opponents.

In summary, I bet more on the flop, and if I was going to raise preflop, I would have made it more like 15.
