In the cold light of day I am replaying that hand thinking well sure I call flop, sort of begrudgingly. But nope, a very tilty jam with a crappy top pair. The embarassment of posting this can only do me good :D

Serious thoughts on what people would have done on that flop, ie just call and fold to any real pressure on turn if no major improvement?

I think flop is an easy fold, both two villains must have something, at least flush draw. SB's range is very strong when he bets 3/4, including JJ+, TT, I am a little surprised to see ATs, but that's also reasonable. He bets big because he wants to protect his hand against all kinds of draws. UTG looks fishy, but I think he also gets a piece on this board, must likely some draws.
Against these two ranges we are seldom good, your raise is a little weird because it is neither value bet nor bluff. I will just fold this TPBK and move on our life.

Hello,

P: iso to 4x is fine, but we must fold to massive squeeze and call for a multi-way flop. We have position, but not initiative. Also, multi-way results in a massive pot where you play hit-or-miss.

You are bleeding money continuing with these speculative hands. You simply won't hit the flop often enough for these plays to be profitable.

F: as played, very easy fold multi-way vs a strong range that crushes us betting into 2 opponents.

There is nothing more for us to do after heavy action preflop and on flop. If we call, we have less than a pot-sized stack behind.

Flop is drawy, so weak/loose players are never folding to our bluff jam with all the money already in the pot: UTG is a very bad player (limp/call vs 3bet preflop).

Pre is fine once the fish calls. Flop is a fold though. That's pretty std poker in a 3-bet pot. If you get a large bet and call on a rag flop like that, you should bow out with a weak one pair hand.
