$4.40 NLHE MTT Turbo: Multiway pot with KK and a lot of action, rush poker SNG

[Trentecaller]

Hey, this will be my first hand of a couple of the last session. I've been doing great at these Rush SnGs but I have trouble playing the real big pots. I have a much bigger edge at the late game and I make a few too much mistakes early. I would like to get my ~68% ROI on these games up to over a 100% which I'm fairly sure is possible since I make too much of these mistakes. So here's one I really probably played wrong but I have trouble playing a hand like this. How should I have done this?

OMG THIS!! Why are we not betting the flop here?

Like I said, I'm a bit of a novice player. I thought I might induce a bet of the guy behind me. But I should have I assume. So what would have happened had I bet the flop here and how much should I have bet? 65% of the pot? Should I post what they had?

well I think 4 handed I am probably betting closer to 3/4-pot sized bet. This is really not a spot where you want to mess around. The flop is very good for us but with 3 villains we definitely dont want give say a pair of 5's a chance to catch his set for free. You will get equally as much action with say AQ betting out than check raising.

you bet the flop for value. In a pot where you have the initiative (i.e. you've raised pre-flop), it is rare for your opponents to bet behind you if you check to them. It'd be totally different if your opponent had the initiative and you were out of position. Then you could check to them and expect them to c-bet the majority of the time. But here, you must bet yourself. Personally I bet t400 and shove pretty much any turn (look at your opponents stack sizes).
