PokerStars - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BB): 100 BB
UTG: 79 BB
UTG+1: 281 BB
MP: 121 BB
MP+1: 102.5 BB
CO: 280 BB
BTN: 76 BB
SB: 100 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 5♠ A♦

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, fold, MP+1 calls 1 BB, CO calls 1 BB, fold, SB calls 0.5 BB, Hero checks

Flop: (5 BB, 5 players) 5♦ Q♣ 3♣
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, MP+1 checks, CO bets 2 BB, fold, Hero calls 2 BB, UTG calls 2 BB, fold - probably OK call with mid pair top kicker, possible improve even if not a big one.

Turn: (11 BB, 3 players) 9♠
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets 5 BB, Hero calls 5 BB, fold - here I am really not sure, he is betting on two players but bet is so small.

River: (21 BB, 2 players) Q♦
Hero checks, CO bets 5 BB, Hero calls 5 BB

CO shows J♦ Q♠ (Three of a Kind, Queens)
(Pre 44%, Flop 78%, Turn 89%)
Hero mucks 5♠ A♦ (Two Pair, Queens and Fives)
(Pre 56%, Flop 22%, Turn 11%)
CO wins 30 BB

I think you can play much tighter the more multi-way, I would probably fold turn because I think our hand is a very weak marginal hand and villain has shown strength by betting flop and half pot on the turn.

I don't think a fold on the flop wouldn't be to bad ether.
Villain is betting in 4 players and your hand is tough to improve.

Multi way is a different beast, there is 5 to the flop. I would most likely fold flop to a bigger bet, but in this instance I am going with pot odds to hit one of my 5 outs, turn fold.

You need to keep in mind when you go to a flop with 5 villains - I would be lead to believe that TP is hit about 80% of time but that is a guess will look at poker cruncher.
