Don't get tricky in multiway pots. Just ram and jam with the nuts at every opportunity. Suppose you check, UTG and MP1 also check and MP2 bets. Now you will probably knock out the other players by raising. In that case, only MP2 puts 2 bets in the pot. If you just bet out, you will almost certainly win that amount too. Only now, you give someone the opportunity to raise so you can 3bet.
Misunderstud says: "Same as Willem said when you posted the flop. No one's going to bet this for you (except as a bluff, and then they'll fold anyway): just pile 'em in."

I wonder why you think this would be a good c/r spot? That might be instructive.
I have thought a lot about this question and I think it stems from the beginner's notion that c/r is what you do with strong hands to get more bets out of loose players. Of course that reason is not good enuf and may be down right crazy. So I think I need more cogent reasons for check/raising. Thanks for asking me to think about this.

Think of the difference between loose/tight, and aggressive/passive. Lots of players are loose, but they just check and call a lot.
