I'll explain my reasoning: I was fairly confident that at least one player had to have a set here. The only worse hands that I could see the villain raising the flop here are Kd Jd, Kd Td and 6 combos of AQ, since I'm blocking most of his semi-bluff range with the Ad in my hands. If the villain had Kd Jd or Kd Td, he's probably folding preflop to the 3bet, and if he does see the flop, he's probably either shoving or calling, not raising and leaving some money behind. If the villain had AQ, he's probably not raising the flop, given how much strength the hero and first villain had shown, and there's even a chance that he'd 4bet preflop to avoid a multiway pot, meaning he'd never get to this position in the first place (lots of players will 4bet AQo in squeeze spots I've found, since there's a lot of fold equity in doing so). Even villain 1 might have a set here. He may have smooth called the flop with the intention of inviting along the second villain and he may have been planning to shove the turn. So between the two of them, it's difficult for me to have the best hand here, and if I am up against a set, I'm potentially drawing to a 1 outer if one of the villains has AQ.
What are your thoughts on the way I played this hand? And does my reasoning make sense?
