how would you play here^^
flopped set in freeplay 5 way, very drawy flop
decided not to lead, because can't really barrel on a lot of turn cards, x-r same, so decided to check-call, evaluate turn :coolface:
turn again leading is no real option i think, ingame was think calling only option with the spiked oesd+set. by looking at the hh now, check-raise might be an option too, given the small bet and the call. the problem would be cant really commit for stacks due to the small sizing, the oesd is also not really strong covered by two flushes and higher straights, like only 7 should be very good, so would say that call is still the best.
the river is quite ok as it's easy xf or we will see showdown quite often.

Would play same way. As you said putting aggression on at any point is questionable as board runouts play so bad. Also are we willing to play for stacks on flop if we get raised? Sizing on turn is indeed on small side so less likely its nuts but there are also three straights available.

When UTG continue to bet on this sort of board on turn versus two players I would think bottom of his range is like two pair+fd so I think our fe is likely on low side if we try to pot. Plus we have no idea where we are in hand even on blank river. Could easily be against straight and then there are lot of non pairing river to still change the nuts. So I like passive approach you took.

true, was just curious if maybe others might see it as too passive.

With so many players otf I would rather lead my hand for protection. Also blocking the backdoorflush 9♣: and straightdraws T♠: will conserve us some playability for turns. Then check-call this specific turn-card to reevaluate rivers. If villain bets this river I would probably check-fold without giving too much thougts to balancing since this situation is so extremely unique. Check-calling twice in a limped pot seems quite passive not generating sufficient value in this environment.
