The preflop call is pretty bad. It's a weak hand and we still have players to act that will at best put us out of position. Once you have called it's likely at least one of them will come along too.

Raising the flop isn't great. When we flat the 3 bet we rep 99-QQ and AK/AQ a lot. You'll get a lot of his air hands to fold but you'll get jammed on by his overpairs a lot so I don't think you'll see the turn very often to use your outs.

I would rather float and then give up if he barrels but tbh we're only happy if a 4 comes on the turn.

Fold pre, Fold flop. You only have a gutshot and very few turns that you like. Why is a K a good card for you to bet? We shouldn't be trying to bluff the aggressors in 3 bet pots on 8 high flops. Literally the only hand we are looking to fold out is AK and you say those are the cards you want to barrel if called.... This is pure spew but I assume you are going to say it is part of your LAG strategy.

Oh and if you didn't notice SB has a 3 bet of 3.5 and he squeezed an UTG raiser. He probably has QQ+ AK here. Good luck bluffing him.

fine fold pre bad spot.

Good, not trying to come off as hostile or anything but this "It is ok to cold call 3 bets with speculative hands" mentality has really got to go if you want to improve your game.

This is a critical mistake, this is a clear fold preflop.

Fold preflop against multiple raiser imo.
