Hello, I have problem with hands like this:

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 5 players
Replay this hand on Pokeit - https://pokeit.co/public/2254qOeT7/r

kompanij (UTG): $4.13 (207 bb)
hey man1948 (CO): $7.16 (358 bb)
welbark (BU): $0.93 (47 bb)
DredUA (SB): $3.56 (178 bb)
gmers55 (BB): $2.00 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero (gmers55) is BB with Q♠ J♠
kompanij (UTG) raises to $0.06, 2 players fold, DredUA (SB) calls $0.05, gmers55 (BB) calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.18) K♠ 9♣ 6♠ (3 players)
DredUA (SB) checks, gmers55 (BB) bets $0.12, kompanij (UTG) raises to $0.37, DredUA (SB) folds, gmers55 (BB) raises to $1.94 (all-in), kompanij (UTG) calls $1.57

Turn: ($4.06) Q♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($4.06) 7♣ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $4.06 (Rake: $0.14)

Showdown:
gmers55 (BB) shows Q♠ J♠ (a pair of Queens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 20%, Flop: 47%, Turn: 39%, River: 0%)

kompanij (UTG) shows A♥ A♦ (a pair of Aces)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 80%, Flop: 53%, Turn: 61%, River: 100%)

kompanij (UTG) wins $3.92

How should play in this spot? I hate play combo draw so should maybe check-call here or check-raise on flop? On utg see player who play more loose (cold call isolate on CO with AJo preflop on another spot).

Defending QJs is fine multi way I think, but I would always check to the aggressor on the flop with a draw and call a Cbet.

Especially multi way it's tough to semi bluff and if you face a raise you need to take a variance spot with stacking off.

Secon FD is not bad for bet, but vs agresions on the flop would be better fold it or only call and wait for improove FD on the turn - you dont hit FD more offen than hit it.
