Thoughts;

Preflop
I raised 3BB plus 1BB for each limper. To hopfully reduce the number of villains.
Flop
C-Betting in case the villain limp-called with a small pair and realize fold equity, with and openended straight in mind.
Turn
Since he calls the C-Bet i think a lot of Queens and Jacks are in his range. Now with the flush and OESD i think i have about 15 conservative outs witch should give me about 30% Equity which gives me the right pot odds to check- call the turn.
River
I think most of the times the enemy has hit a pair here. The only thing i could beat here are missed flushdraws. Some of the combos are even blocked by my KTd.

CO: 75.5 BB
BTN: 139 BB
SB: 102.5 BB
Hero (BB): 105 BB
UTG: 92 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♦ T♦

UTG calls 1 BB, CO calls 1 BB, fold, SB calls 0.5 BB, Hero raises to 5 BB, UTG calls 4 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (12 BB, 2 players) J♣ 5♣ Q♦
Hero bets 6 BB, UTG raises to 12 BB, Hero calls 6 BB

Turn: (36 BB, 2 players) 4♦
Hero checks, UTG bets 17.5 BB, Hero calls 17.5 BB

River: (71 BB, 2 players) 4♠
Hero checks, UTG bets 34.5 BB, fold

UTG wins 68.5 BB

Well played. Preflop is ok, though you should raise to 6bb(3bb + 1bb for each of 3 limpers)
On flop you can use different sizes, personally I like smaller bet as it allows me to more efficiently attack weak and capped limping range on latter streets. VIllain raise, but we have easy call with odds. Similar story on turn. Perhaps we may raise against some players, but against unknown fish I think we call almost always.
On river nothing to do, you will not rep anything with raise. Also 2 flushdraws missed so its even less likely he will fold.

I would go for the tight approach and just check pre-flop. KTs can play well post-flop and without position it will be hard to get everyone to fold with a decent raise. You don't want to blow up the pot with a nice drawing hand.

Post-flop seems reasonable. Off course you need to ht the straight to win if villian will fire again on later streets.
