you usually can't get this isolated, once the OR calls, it's a cascade of calls that usually follow, nothing technically wrong with your sizing, the only problem is balancing
i normally just resign myself to playing it multiway. stacks are so deep that getting it isolated or taking down the blinds isn't as easy as a 100 BB game
my problem with the bet size is that if i'm sitting in villains seat, i will put you on the exact hand you have.
villain pretty much has the other AK a lot of the time, i really can't think of that many hands he could have except it's almost always not a flush and usually not a queen, so this is just a really tough spot, which i think is a lot easier if you size the bet down pre and on the flop
it's super close between a bet/shove river, check raise all in and check fold...you really have to know what your table image is and what you think villain thinks you have because you have the only AA KK in your range, a lot of the board and your hand block villains calling range, so he's very narrow here and you may be chopping at best or charging JdJx....this might be a check/fold, it's not an easy spot. I think it's a lot easier if you size everything down a little bit and this hand plays multiway very well, i'm perfectly comfortable playing this 4 way but i go for low variance lines as a preference and i give you that it's not the most +ev way, just the least variance way
