I also overlimp for cheap in LP. Effective stack sizes aren't ideal for calling the raise, but we're already getting 3:1 and will be in position in a 4way pot, so I call the raise too.
If the flop was a little drier, I think we'd be able to slowplay the flop and be able to get chips in easier on later streets. However, this board is a little drawy and I think we want to start getting in money befor a scare card perhaps freezes the action. Plus, if villain does have an overpair (which it looks like he has) then he'll have a tough time getting away from it (could easily put us on a draw or even a smallish overpair). I just raise a little over a minraise and then get the rest in on the turn.
