I ended up shoving raising to 330
In retrospect, have a few questions/comments
1. Not sure I should have CBET into multiway. I was feeling like I had a good double barrel setup with 14 outs to improve, but check calling the probable BTN villain bet could have been better.
2. Looking back I think the raise from the villain was very strong and I probably had small fold equity with my raise.

The cbet isn't necessarily bad but you are betting kind of square in the middle of your range. If you get called, all pairs villain calls with are going to be Kx and mostly better Tx. He really shouldn't have a ton of 5x that is calling 50 into 80 with 2 players to act. You will get called by some FDs and straight draws.
When villain raises they have a pretty narrow value range of KT and 55, alongside plenty of FDs. Villain dependent they may raise KQ/KJ but I wouldn't say that's a common play multiway at 1/3. Jamming may fold out a FD that is worse than yours, but you are probably never getting a better FD to fold and you are never folding out his value. And again, I think this is square in the middle of your range, and is probably not a combo to raise tho it can't be terrible given how much equity you have.
Yeah thinking back I think my only fold equity was against a worse FD or gutshot, many of which I'm not convinced villain would call.
The equity in MW-scenarios is a lot more distributed between all ranges than in HU-scenarios which leads to a much more polarized betting-strategy.
As we are 4ways to the flop and not last to act, i would simplify my strategy and check my whole range.
As played: as BU should be 3betting a lot of Kx-combos pre and we are blocking TT, i guess bet/jamming isnt the worst line even though i expect to see 55s pretty often.
Still; villain could be gii with a bare FD and so the EV between jamming and calling will be pretty marginal. I doubt that we really can find a fold here ever.
Yeah I can see the check strategy working out the more I think of these MW pots.
If checked and say BU bets out 3/4 pot (and say everyone else folds), is this a raise or call? I don't think I ever fold to a float.
My worry with just calling is that there's a decent chance I fold on the turn to a second barrel, but my worry with raising is that I have low fold equity except against worse FD.

If we assume that Villain is polarized, then raising the flop doesn't make sense, because a raise will fold out bluffs and get called by a lot stronger hands. Keep in mind that is not possible to protect vs certain parts of villains range either. So no NFD/combodraws will fold as well.
So I would play this as a XC flop and mostly XC turn (depends on sizing a bit) and play pretty straight forward OTR:
XC 2p+
fold unimproved
We shouldn't forget that villain leads into 4 players here and so the probability that he has you beat all the way down is fairly high.
So there is no need to take any aggression action on a certain street. Your combo is also not the best candidate to turn into a bluff OTT/OTR as we block Villains folding range (Tx/FD).
RaoulFlush thank you makes a lot of sense
