I'm a tight player, so I don't call a raise even in the CO, and especially not a UTG raise with that trash. When it gets raised twice again before it gets to you again, and you call again, it's a rough play. You're 2.75-to-1 on the first call and 8.25-to-1 or so on the second call. I muck the hand to a raise every time, but that's just me. Not here to criticize your pre-flop play.
Flop: (20.50 SB)

You pick up a baby flush draw and a backdoor open-ender. UTG leads out and you raise. Not a bad play here. I actually like it.
Turn: (14.25 BB)

Free card. Like it more. You now have a OESD and the same flush draw. It gets led into you, and your raise again limits the field. You potentially have 9 outs for the flush and 6 more for the open ended, not to mention 2 more for the 4's in the deck to give you trips.
River: (20.25 BB)

You can't be good here. Just can't. What the hell are you calling this last bet for? I know it's technically correct (19.25-to-1), but your pair of 5s can't possibly be good here.

I don't like the turn raise. there's zero chance that you'll take this down without a showdown and you're only driving people out and taking a hit on your drawing odds.
river is a fold...
btw - MP's play isnt exactly stellar. guys lke that sometimes try those plays with draws... but with other callers and the preflop action - you should have slowed down
about raising with draws - some good advice from this book i'm reading: mizors such as myself congratulate ourselves when we jam it up heads up with a gutshot and get paid off when we hit, but sometimes we need to realize the play failed miserably as a bluff and even as a free card play. if you do it too often, especially at shorthanded where it feels so right - you're just pumping money in against the odds, because your fold equity drops drastically.
