V1: Just came over from 2/5 game, ready to gamble
V2: Standard MAWG, haven't seen him get really OOL all night
Hero: Tight image if anyone at the table is even paying attention

V1 and V2 have 200, Hero covers

V1 limps in MP, V2 raises button to 12, Hero raises to 40 in BB w/ AdAc
Both call

Flop: (120) Qh6h5c

I want to play for stacks on this board, I feel like my best chance to get it in on this flop is let one of the V's bet a Q or FD, and then jam over the top. Although thinking back on it now, leading into both V's and calling a jam may be better, idk.

Hero check, V1 check, V2 check

Turn (120): 10h

Now I want to charge the Ah and Kh if either player has it, while getting value from Qs and maybe JJ.

Hero bets 50, V1 calls, V2 jams for 160.

Hero?

Basically have to call 110 to win 490. Do we have enough equity against both opponents?

I might be more inclined to find a fold if V1 hadn't called, and was 100% calling the all-in.

Pre is fine imo.
Flop you have the right thought of wanting to get stacks in, but failed to make the right move for this to happen. When you 3! at a 1/2 game, or even a 2/5 game, you can’t check hoping to get a check-raise in on people betting top pair.
Especially without the Ace of hearts here you absolutely have to bet this flop. With a $120 pot and $160 effective left OTF something like 2/3rd or a bit more easily gets stacks in on any turn.
Fire $75 or more and jam any turn card all day long for the remainder of your existence in this situation.
AP, you should call, but you lost to a flush.

Actually, edit the last bit.
AP, fold to the turn raise.
1/2 players basically play their cards face up all day long.
Congratulate V2 on a nice flush and make a mental note to never count on others to do your betting for you when you have a premium hand OOP with multiple callers in a 3! pot.
Save your $110 for the next time this happens.

Bet the flop. I'd go an easy 70. If anyone calls, shove the turn.

As played, I'd call because of the high pot odds and to punish myself for playing this hand so badly.

Hahahahaha

This was why I originally suggested calling turn. For educational punishment purposes.

Call or fold as played, I don't think either is a big mistake.

Flop - hand is multi-way, have to value bet. You are blocking AQ, a typical 3b calling hand, but need to charge FD and value KK/JJ besides the remaining 6 combos of AQ.

Should've bet 50 on the flop instead setting up a nice sized turn shove. It's an awkward SPR where you could just shove, but 1/2 villains will overfold here because they see a big bet and think "that's too much" and you really want calls here.

As played, you have to call. The shove doesn't necessarily have to mean you're beat, villain could put you on AKo with a heart since you underrepped by checking flop and by betting small on the turn.
