The question should be about which line to maximize value, because putting all the money in somehow is mandatory and not spew.

I would not bet that big otf since you really can't afford it with all your range and I would not check the turn as standard but I accept your logic of doing so. Shoving for value is totally fine.

Being OOP in a 3way pot, I'm not sure I agree with this statement. That is, I agree that the sizing is probably not that good in itself as it's a dry flop and we won't have a full psb left on turn.

But even with a smaller sizing, what hands do you b/f here?

My discomfort is based on the idea, that when we get called we should x/f on blank because it's really tough to call psb on this flop with something worse, only some weak wraps. Maybe I'm very far from the true, maybe making some hands with equity to fold is enough, I didn't make calculations, but I just feel bad about our situation when called.

3bet pf is standard here? I am looking forward to getting back to playing and at least a while back people just assumed that you have aces when 3bet pf from the blinds.

Not spew. Just a tough spot. A cooler hand.

I really hate your 3 bet preflop. The hand has very poor playability multiway, you are most likely revealing your hand, and any time your opponent flops 2 pair or set he stacks you? Looks like holdem.
On the other hand if you call, your opponents will get alot of coolers with weaker sets and weaker flush draws.

Size smaller otf. Not getting away from the hand once the K spikes.
