On flop and turn you have invested more than 1/2 of you're starting stack.
Maybe you could bet the flop a little bit smaller, but even than I would shipped most rivers.
Like now as well, because you beat all 2 pair combo's and a straight isn't to likely in his range.

As played I would call here as well. He could change his missed flush draw in a bluff as well and you beat all 2 pair combo's. If he has a straight or FH it's unlucky I think.

Cheers,

The villain range in this hand is pretty wide and in most cases he could be calling you with TP and draws. When you demonstrate weakness on the river he takes a stab at it..

I would bet smaller on the flop, bigger on the turn and shove the river, or maybe even shove on the turn depending on my betting sizes.

I would raise 2.5X or 3X pre flop, all the villians are playing over 40% of pots so I dont think they will be scared away by a bigger raise. This will make the pot bigger and therefore easier to get your 21BB's all in on the turn if you get a scary flop like this draw heavy one

I'd actually raise bigger pre-flop, too, as other players seems to be quite loose. Of course I have no idea about your stat sample on 4-way table..

As played, I think ch/calling river could be good, unless your opponent is a passive station (then bet). Now he can bluff you with his missed draws and he could think that Qx is way ahead. I think calling here with 2 pairs is more than ok.
