While check-raising isn't always bad, it's not a play I use that often. I would lead the flop here with a pot-sized bet. Since you decided to check-raise, you need to bet way more. There's $5.75 in the pot after he bets, you need to raise to like $6.

I agree with fly here about the c/r. As played make your c/r mucho bigger. Also make your turn bet bigger. Actually with a little more money you could just push the turn.

FLOP: You can't c/r and put in less than half the pot. You just can't. Especially multi-way....but that doesn't matter. I don't think you're strong enough on the flop to warrant a c/r anyway, I'd have led at this flop with about $4. If you feel pretty strong about a c/r, then at least make the raise $5-7. Your c/r looks weak, and appears that you're raising in relation to the bet made, instead of to the pot. FWIW, CO's .75 is almost scary into $5.

TURN: You need to bet more. Shove it. If you bet the pot and get called and you only have $8 back, which isn't enough to get anyone out of the way, and isn't enough to keep you from being commited to any river.

RIVER: If you get this far you are right to shove. You shouldn't have been here, though.

This is a very important point I think. You have a vulnerable hand with all kinds of draws on the board. You know you can't fold after making a decent sized bet, so maximize your fold equity here and push.
