I've mostly been not raising these situations and tightening up my range PF in multi way pots. Something like 66+, AJo+, AJs+ and KQ

I've played a lot of KJ like you, but, seeing here I would think:
Why threw the position away? Why not a big iso-raise, based on your opponents stack sizes, and reduce numbers of villains or collect the dead money.
My question is: If you play 1k of hands like this will be ev+ or ev-? I understand in multiway pots KJ equity is too low.
Let's wait a pro adviser.

If you want to isolate with KJ with our 23bb stack with 2 players in you need to make it at least 2k to have a change to get it 1 against 1. Especially against 2 fishy players you will build up the pot a lot and you will still end up multi way and you will miss the flop 2/3 of the time it will be tough to win.

Another option would be to shove right away and try to win the dead money without showdown. You will win approximately 20% of you stack if all players will fold and that’s not bad I think. Off course we need to know if both limpers are loose passive to have a good change that they don’t have a trapping range.

I also think over limping isn’t too bad ether and then I would play the hand the same way post-flop. No need to rush thinks on the flop with 4 outs for a straight and the turn is standard with the nuts.
