Final Pot: $85.40

Preflop looks fine you want as much in pot as you can get and two callers at 5x is good, not sure how table was betting before that. Flop is dangerous, but I'm guessing you got beat by overpair. A bigger flop bet and a turn bet protect against the straight, check calling helps with overpair or set. I'm not sure your in a good situation here, this may be a hand you lose to an overpair and protect against the straight and drawing overcards with. Depending on your read of the player. I think I'd bet out here if you're beat your beat.

Good flop bet. Dont like the turn check. I'd fire another pot sized bet there. Gives him 2:1 crappy odds to hit any of his draws and you're getting the money in with probably the best hand. Pocket 6s, 7s, or 9s are unlikely. I'd think he'd raise that preflop 6 handed, but I dont know villian. 5s or lower pp is definite possibility. Lower pp more likely for two reasons: a) more likely to raise pf with 5s b) more card combos to make lower pp, but again, I dont know villian.

Raise more pre-flop. Half the table has limped and you're OOP. You really don't want this multi-way and with that smallish raise, you'll see it go multiway very often. I generally raise to either $3.50 or $4.

The flop bet is a little big, I wouldn't try to overbet too often, and I usually underbet a little, so I'd like $8.50 here. I also don't like the turn check because it's just too likely that villain is drawing with the 8. Having checked the turn, you've really got to concede the hand and check/fold the river.
