You could check back the flop, since its quite unlikely, you can get 3 people to fold on a flop like this, where so many different hands flopped equity. As played you probably have to stack it off, even its not a great situation. But at least you are drawing to the nuts, which is important in multiway spots like this.

I like checking back the flop multi way as well as played geting it in cant be that terrible.

The raise size seems a bit small to me. I know that people often use 3x+1 for each caller, but apparently it didn't stop the SB from calling OOP with Q9o, which induced a cascade of calls behind. It's NL2, people don't care, just go bigger with good hands.

Postflop playing passively is the best option, because you don't have much FE anyway (also short stacked fish doesn't help, he's supposed to stack off pretty light), and you only have a draw, therefore it's better to realise your equity as cheap as possible.

I would bet other draws on that flop, like 68 T8 TJ TK JK of diamonds and 68 T8 TJ of clubs cause you have more outs with those.

I agree. The goal with an isolation raise is to either pick up the pot uncontested or get action from one or at most two players. So if 5X create a 4-way pot against hands as bad as Q9o and JTo, then just go bigger. It is after all NLH, so we can bet, whatever we want.
