$25 PLO

Preflop: econ_tim has [Q 8 9 T ]
UTG raises the pot to $0.85, econ_tim calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Button calls, SB calls, 1 fold.

Flop: ($4.30) [5 T Q ]
UTG bets the pot to $4.30, econ_tim ...

I think I'm good here most of the time. UTG probably has AAXX or KKXX. What should I do, raise the pot? Also, if I think UTG has these hands, should I try to isolate preflop?

i call here and either fold or pot the turn.

off the top of my head, turn cards that i probably fold to another pot bet include A, K, J, and 5. the rest, i repot.

I'd call. You have a lot going on here, and you could very well be correct on you evaluation of the villian's hand given the limit. I'd like to see a turn before I decide on what I want to do with this hand

I'd call too. Repotting is a little dangerous given the others left to act. The villain's bet may be enough to isolate, but you won't get caught out for more $$ if one of the three callers has a K high or broadway straight draw.

PF, re-raising may be a good idea if you are pretty sure a raise means AAxx or KKxx and that re-raising may get people to fold. Given the amount of bad players at this game/level, re-raising may not have the desired isolating effect.

Very unlikely that you are CURRENTLY behind, but there are lots of cards that could come that would fit into an UTG pre-flop raise that wouldn't imrpove your hand...

Call and see what the turn brings. Pot it on the turn if a blank hits. 8)
