Very little experience with multiway pots and I questioned myself after this hand. I think it was the right thing to check flop & turn as we are 4-handed but please correct me if I'm wrong? (despite the very dry flop).
On the river, I bet big because I wanted to polarize myself to either a 5 or air, and I won't have many 5s after raising UTG. Hoping for a hero call from some pair. Is this a spot I should be overbetting to achieve this instead? Would it be better to bet small here instead?
Thanks in advance

Reason: Removed mention of the backdoor flush, I misread the flop :)

You don't have a backdoor nut unless the flop is wrong. 4 way on the flop, even though it's that dry, it's fine checking. As played, you can bet the turn, a check isn't horrible here though as well, but you can get value from turned draws now.
As played, you don't have to worry about polarizing your range vs 3 opponents.
Just bet an amount you think you have a chance to get called by, and potting it into 3 opponents when there's no action on previous streets usually won't work. 1/4 to maybe 1/3rd here hoping for small pair calls, 7x, maybe some strong Ax.
