At 36:00 you defend 7753, c/c for 1/4 pot on 542dd vs utg opener on 4 way flop. Turn 5. You say a block bet makes sense. Could you elaborate? i.e. What size do you prefer? What is villain's range, and how you structure your range if you have a block betting range?
To me it seems villain has mostly Adxdxx, A3xx, overpair+FD, 76xx (including better draws); and villain will rarely have sets, and 63xx.
So we gain value/protection vs the FD (w or w/o overpairs) parts of his range, and open up the possibility of bluffing him off all his combo draw outs on river. The alternative is checking a stronger range to him on turn when our range is fairly wide, as we are closing the action on flop facing a 1/4 pot bet. Why not do this and strengthen a range that needs protection? (Again, I realize you checked turn in this hand, but also wanted some elaboration on why a block bet might make sense)

Any analysis would be insightful. Thanks!
