1. Line check?
a) Preflop call or 3bet? Sizing?
b) Flop? I figured they miss = they fold but I gotta make it convincing

With so many callers i think its better to 3bet.

On that flop though i wouldnt cbet with 2 others and such a wet flop. Chances are someone will have overpairs or a decent draw like overs+straight or flush and wont fold. Also you dont have much redraw outs there.

Problem with 3bet is that these muppets apparently don't fold and AKo is a drawing hand vs multiple opponents all I did was inflate the pot.

I kind of thought even against a pair I have outs, besides I am repping an overpair here (if muppets think that is).

these guys dont think. At the micros one of the best strategies is to play super straight forward. Bet big with a hand, dont bluff. Only bluff when its profitable like the cbet and preflop stealing.

Dont outlevel yourself either

Also AK is better 3-4 way when you are the 3bettor and in an inflated pot than it is 3-4 way in a single raised pot when you just called.

I 3bet and check fold the flop when 2 players call. I size my 3bet the same as you. Turn down your flop sizing dude.

In 5NL nobody folds for less than pot bet most of the time. Against two, it is either give up or pot it.

Also, repping an overpair, remember?

So bet pot with your value hands but no point in wasting a full pot size bet when you're bluffing.
