In my experience, it's not the amount of the check-raise that makes people fold, it's the simple fact that you check-raised. Any check-raise says "I have a big hand." So if you're going to do it, you might as well do it pretty big. (I'm actually not good at doing this: I usually CR too small and give odds to chasers.)
I'm very surprised you didn't get any calls on your turn bet. If anything you bet it too small. Anybody with a flush draw or two pair isn't going away. There are also a whole bunch of straight draws now with the 8 out there. Bet it strong, they don't care about odds at $25 NL. I would typically bet $5 here.

After the flop, nothing you can do. You have to bet enough to make it wrong for the FD to call. At this limit, a FD probably calls that bet, so it's unlikely either villain had one.

(4 players)Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets $0.75, Hero raises to $1.75, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $1.75, MP1 calls $1.
I was a little worried about the flush draw but did not want to scare everyone away either. So I checked hoping someone would make a play at the pot. MP! was pretty agro so I took the oppportunity to check raise hoping to get it heads up with him.
Turn: ($6.25)
![[8s]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8s.gif "The Eight of Spades")
(3 players)Hero bets $3.75, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds.
Turn card double suits the board and I am not liking the fact that UTG+1 called my check raise so I decide to lead out and try to end the hand right now. However I do not overbet, I just bet enough to deny odds to chase flush....or so that was the plan.
Final Pot: $10
Comments? Did I leave money on the table? Did I let them hang around to long on a draw heavy board? This sure isnt limit poker I can tell you that.
