Preflop
With deep stacks I do prefer to use a larger raise size. With a hand like AK, you simply generate more value, and you also define ranges a little bit more particularly by discouraging people from defending their blinds with trash hands like J6 offsuit. It might happen anyway, because people are just bad, and its a micro tournament, but then at least you have done, what you can.
Flop
This is a flop, which they will have missed a lot of the time, so even 3 ways I would probably lean towards C-betting this. It is ok also to check, but when you face a bet and a call, I would just let it go. If BB had folded, I might peel one off, but in a multiway pot, when there is a bet AND a call behind you, this is generally action, you need to respect and just get out of the way, unless you have a pretty good hand.
Turn
As played I definitely check again.
River
No way I am folding to this river action. He could be bluffing, because the turn got checked around, or he could be valuebetting top pair worse kicker.
Results
Turns out he was in fact slowplaying trips, and this is exactly why, I dont like check-calling on the flop. In general we want to avoid calling in spots, where we are drawing to an obvious second best hand, and having overcards on a paired board certainly fits that bill.
