This is the 2nd time I raised Villain A initial raise in one orbit. First time I had AQs and he folded. This time I got 4 callers.

How is my play , what next?

3 players, no brainer. I would probably just push flop, if for no other reason than that is where your equity is highest.

Which hands I'm afraid off that I want to push off. Its pretty clear that I have no FE against MsFish. (all she have left is about $5)
By not push I actually increase my drawing odds (if someone also calls the initial bet)

its about 12 to call and 50 in the pot. Easy call. It doesnt matter if you call or push on the flop, even if the turn is blank and the other guy goes all in, you still have odds.

I'd actually lean slightly more towards calling, and hope that if you don't improve, you can at least save 6$ on the river if you miss both times.

Because of the other players stacks I'm not sure it matters much here, although I'd lean toward pushing because another diamond may kill your action.

If stacks were much deeper calling might be your best option.
