30,000 chips to start, 25 minute levels. We are at 400/800 BB Ante 800 (BB antes started 1st level)

We have 51,000 chips. There are varying stack sizes at the table and I don't remember how many players have more chips than me but I'll say 2 or 3.

4 limps and I'm on the BTN with AKo. I raise to 5600. SB calls, BB folds, 3 calls and then one fold.

(30,000 pot) Flop is AKT. Checks to me and though I've waited two months for this moment everyone has tapped the table (and the dealer has said nothing) so I don't get to say "American"

I am somewhat afraid that there is a QJ out there but I am going to cbet. I doubt anyone has TT except maybe SB. Effective stack size is 45,400.

My thinking is that it is likely there is a Qx and Jx hand that has likely paired the board and would call a reasonably small bet.

Bet sizing options for me are 7,500 and jam. I normally would bet 18,000 to 20,000 on this board but that would pot commit me and I don't want to be in the situation where I can't fold to a Q, J, T on the turn (whether the bet is on the turn which is unlikely or the river). What would you do?

I think I Jam. This probably is not optimal, but the board is so wet, against so many players; I just want max protection, and it's only slightly more than a pot sized bet, so SPR might be low enough to justify the flop jam.

I would just jam here, any other bet is either pathetically weak or commits us anyway, if someone has woken up with QJ then so be it, if anyone wants to get funky with a pair + gutshot or other weirdness then charge them the max
