live 2/5 98cc in multipway pot
live 2/5, 600 effective. Hero maniac image. Utg+3 who was winning a lot opens 20. Unknown called on the lowjack. Cutoff grinder called. I called with 9c8c. Sb loose aggressive fish called.(pot 105)
Flop Qh4c2c. utg+3 checked. Unknown bets 55. I called. SB called. Others folded.
Turn: Ac Unknown bets 115. I called. Sb folded.
river:8s Unknown all-in. I snaped. He had KcKh.
My question is, given the description of each players, do you prefer to raise the flop as a bluff? I know i got very lucky with the runout. I'm just thinking maybe there are more merits to bluff the flop. Because i could potentially bluffed out the better flush draw Sb likely to have. And i could represent sets that other players can't have. Because i play ever 22 and 44.
Any feedback is greately appreciated.

Bluffing 5-way in a live game with a maniac image sounds pretty suicidal. :)
At the end it's a pretty easy calculation: you only make money if EVERYBODY folds or you make the best hand. Everybody folding happens like - 0.01%? Your equity when called is like 40%, assuming you get a free river - but a) that's not certain, b) you could be dominated by a better flush draw and/or c) you could get bet into on a safe turn.
All in all - no way that a bluffraise on the flop can be justified.
Aside from that - would you really want to raise the flop with bottom set? Why? To fold out any worse hand that might potentially pay you off on later streets? I'd call 44 as well on the flop - so I likely wouldn't have a raising range at all ...
You wouldn't raise a set of 4's here with a wet board? and 4 players left to act?
Agreed with BigFiszh. I don't think you want to be bluff raising too much in loose, low stakes, live games unless you're ready to get it in with a big combo draw or something like Ac5c on this flop.
