AK in LPG vs 4 calling stations

How do i get the most value for AK when i am in early pos in an LPG with 4 others in the pot and king hits flop with 2 suited cards. There is almost always showdown and someone regularly draws out so do I bet until they hit knowing that everyone will call or do bet less than i usually would or not at all?????/

I would say that with AK, it's best to bet, especially if you are 4 or 5 handed. If you don't bet, the calling stations will check it round, so if you have a winner, you're gonna get paid off a lot less. Calling stations are usually quite loose, so just keep up a Tight/Agressive image, and play your monster hands very aggressively, if they call as you say they will, lots of big pots coming your way. Also, do you raise Pre-Flop? and if you do, how much?

i think i would come out betting, and if someone calls and flush looks like it hits, i would still bet small amount to see if they hit it or just calling on kings also, by the first bet it should just go down to a couple

In early position (1st in) With A-K, a pot bet is 2 1/2 blinds. If you get 4 callers, there's 10 blinds in the pot. This is ok later in a tournry, but if the blinds are low you might want to raise 3 or 4 x, just to try and narrow the field. If you hit your K you've got to pot bet. if they call that, only drop to a lower bet, if the flush card comes. And there will still be some that for some reason will still be calling for a river card to make a gut shot straight, with 3 suited on the board. The best consolation is that if you stick to your game, the odds are in your favor.

Bet it out and only slow down if you see a flush or straight draw show up. Try to keep the pot odds high enough that they are making a mistake chasing their draw and over time you'll come out on top.

I would raise a set smaller than this personally. The two guys left are running 69/11 43/4, and are shorties, I really don't care about them. Hopefully they'll add to the pot drawing almost dead.

There are many non 12+ flush draws out there. In fact any AhXh not Q or J is drawing 9 outs exaclty, and that assumes none of the other two have hearts as well.

With this much action, I can't say he must have me beat I have to fold.

The fact that two others are in the hand make me want to call this more NOT less, especially who they are.

If this was heads up, I bet he shoves, I may fold, but here, I'm OK losing the buy-in if he has a set.
