Live 2/5 game, full ring.

Player summary, position & stack info.

Hero (SB with $1050): playing really tight, should have very rocky image at this point. Recently doubled up with a set vs overpair, but before that had just been picking up a small pot every other orbit or so to keep an even stack.
Villain A (UTG with $144): Eastern European, very lose and likes to gamble and bluff whenever the opportunity presents itself. Is stuck about 1300 in this game and is on his 3rd rebuy and looking to gamble to get his money back.
Villain B (MP2 with $391): Older guy, a little loose preflop, doesn't mind giving or getting a lot of action. Had been doing better earlier, has lost about 1/2 his stack in the last hour.
Villian C (CO with $781): Asian guy, haven't played much with him before but from observation at this table he tends to get involved in huge pots with light holdings postflop. Has been running pretty good at this table.

Preflop: Hero is SB with JsJd

UTG raises to 25.00, 2 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, Button calls, Hero raises to $150.00, BB folds, UTG calls $144 (All-in), MP2 Calls, CO calls, Button folds.

Flop: 4 players, 1 all in for main pot ($611), 3 players with live action for side pot (18.00)

Tc, 8s, 6c

Hero bets $200.00, MP2 moves all in for $241, CO calls, Hero calls.

Turn: 4 players, 2 all in, 1 for main pot only ($611), 1 for main and Sidepot 1 ($741), 2 players live.

Tc, 8s, 6c, 3s

Hero bets $400.00, CO calls $390 (all in)

3 pots, Main (4 players $611), Sidepot 1 (3 players $741), and Sidepot 2 ( 2 players $780).

Thoughts?

Preflop I wanted to isolate Villain A, but that didn't work. On the flop considering the preflop action I think I am good here against every hand except pocket tens, so was the bet a little small? Turn shove okay against a guy who has been passive the entire hand?

I think that once you make the iso move preflop and on the flop holding JJ, the turn is a no brainer and you have to hope to be looking at draws for the side pots and hoping the big hand is the $144 hand. Because someone is usually holding a big hand here with this much action.

Effective stacks = PSB on the flop. I'd probably just shove the flop, or bet at least 400 and get it in. $200 is giving random club hands too good a price to stay in.

I can't push MP2 off a club draw in this hand ever. There is almost 700 in the pot on the flop and he has 241 behind, he would never fold a flush draw there regardless of the bet.

I don't know how CO plays flush draws, haven't seen him show one down.

meh, i play it the same way.
