Questions and thoughts:

Spoiler

I thought a lot about calling here. Villain posted the blind OOP, called a raise. He looked fishy.
On the other hand, had he planned to check/raise all the 3 players? That would look scary. Or did he take advantage of everybody else folding to try to make a move?
I guess if we had seen aflop in HU, I would have called that, but with the overcall multiway pre and the check/raise post, I'm not sure...

Spoiler

UTG wins 39.2 BB

Do not bet weak top pairs four way, because this will not have multiple street value, and even some draws can make you fold with a x/r.

In addition, your hand is very invulnurable, because you have many backdoor doors.

My plans here would be to call one bet on the turn (or bet if it is checked to me), and then decide on the river, based on the runout.

Againts this push on the flop, I fold.

In a 4-way pot I would polarize a lot OTF, so basically only the nuts or absolute air.
I would check back flop too, bet turn when checked all the way and/or call a river bet most of the times. Remember you are in position, which is great in this spots because you control the size of the pot and can check-back streets.
The thing is that you have a good hand, with bluff-catch potencial and I like to play this pair hands in mwp cautiously.
