Do you bet OTR or already OTT? If yes, how much? With so many players in the pot I’m quite concerned about random 2pairs, trips, or better. On the other hand, I wouldn’t expect strong hands to slowplay. So when it checks to me OTR my TP looks still good.
Mostly rather passive limpers at the table, two players slightly aggro but perhaps not too competent, not many reads yet.

In game I did check. BTN bets huge, almost pot. SB tanks and folds. UTG folds. LJ calls with QT second pair. I fold (!). BTN mucks his hand. So either I or SB folded the best hand.
FWIW, at least speaking for myself, I prefer to read hand histories in monetary amounts rather than multiples of BB's. It helps to understand the game size, when the action can vary from lower to higher stakes.
PRE - if this is low stakes, I'd open for a larger size than 5x over 2 limps. My normal open at 1/3 is $15, or 5BB, so over two limps, I'm opening to at least $20, and sometimes $25 if the game is loose and splashy, as this one appears to be.
FLOP - the 1/3p c-bet seems pretty standard. Again, I might size up in a loose-splashy game with sticky opponents.
TURN - terrible card. Just check it back.
RIVER - Betting for value, probably potting it, when the turn checks through and everyone checks to us again. Doubtful the BTN is slow-playing a better hand.
6 ways I check river.
I would bet turn and check river.
Turn you charge a ton of draws and you don't mind folding out some equity. Yes, 89 gets there but you'll get called by flush draws and a ton of straight draws, pair + draw hands
On river you might get called by QJ but that's it
