It is so odd to know what to do here, I would have re-raised preflop and we likely wouldn't be facing so many players behind.

We're in the tough spot now because we want to see the turn cheap and it seems unlikely we're going to take this hand down right now with a raise, I guess call might justified at this point - But I still lean raise so we can see if anyone is strong and have a better idea then if we pair on the turn where we might stand then. It will be easy to second guess a raise though if we're forced to fold before the turn courtesy of the original raiser who with no read, starting with a preflop rase in EP and then slow leading the pot and reraising we'll need to assume is strong and we don't get a chance to hit the flush.

I lean raise here anyways, but wish we had re-raised small preflop.

Eh... this kinda sucks. I think a flat ok is fine since stacks are pretty deep, and it may not be right to try to get it in preflop here.
I would probably flat call the flop. I don't think your draw on hte flop is really that strong... vs the PFR you might have the full 15 outs, but its also possible you have far fewer given how many opponents you have. You have good implied odds drawing to the nut fluhs with so many opponents, so I would probably just flat and hope to not get raised.

All in!

If my addition is right (which it usually isnt) there is about 4k in the pot and he has 8K left You have at least 9 outs and maybe 15. Even with 9 outs you are 35% making it about even EV. Knocking out hands like A4 or K6 helps. You have the fold equity and I would say your discounted outs are around 12 or 13, you may even have him beat (like a lower flush draw).
