Just openraise imo. If you're getting too many callers, openraise bigger.
Whether flop is a shove or a smaller bet depends on MP's stack size, but don't check when these guys call much wider than they bet.
The thinking is if I open for $20, I probably win $4. If I open for $15, I may get 2-3 callers and playing AKo OOP.
I was thinking with the $50 l/rr I would take down the pot right there and win $35 with little risk. I did not expect any or certainly not so many callers. I think that's why others are saying raise more pre which is probably correct.
