Full table.

V1 (SB, $57): Tight, passive
V2 (MP1, covers hero): Loose, passive--average player
Hero (MP2, $180) plays LAG, image is TAG, has J

V3 (HJ, covers hero): unknown
V4 (BTN, covers hero): LAG--plays average draws aggressively

UTG limps, V2 limps, hero raises to $12, V3, V4, V1, V2 call. BB & UTG fold.

5-way flop ($64) Q

V1 shoves for $45, V2 calls $45.

Hero?

Yea I agree w/ this. I don't like playing most unsuited broadways (taking this approach after reading Ed Miller's new book) so I probably toss this pre. However, there's something to be said for isolating the limpers. I would be more inclined to open this with a few limpers than I would be to call a standard PF raise (Just depends on the table. Are they Limp/Folding or Limp/Calling a lot?).
As played, there lot of pair+draws here along with some bare FDs so I'm probably just GII. Curious as to what others think.

Preflop unless the table is tighter then average and will mostly fold to a raise either raise more, limp in or just fold. $12 after 2 limpers is just inviting a 4+ way pot at most 1/2 games and you don't want that with QJo OOP. $15-$20 is more likely to work.

As played you have an SPR around 3 and two pair on a draw happy board. Just shove now and be happy if you go heads up with SB. If anybody else gets involved you are probably behind or facing a good draw.
