Is it contradictory if I +1 both of these?
I agree with IRTM in that what's done is done; it doesn't matter how the pot got to where it is or who put what $ into it, the only important decision at this point (regardless if we've screwed up on prior ones) is the decision at hand.
I also agree with keeke in that we can't be punting huge stacks multiway having just put in a stupidly small percentage of our stack preflop. But I think mostly that applies to weaker hands (such as overpairs and stuff like that).
Here, the SPRs ranges are in the small category (3.3, 4, 5.5 with a maximum one of 9) and we have the nut straight on a non-paired board. Although it is definitely possible someone might have a flush (or is free rolling us) and we're drawing dead, there is still a boatload of hands that we're ahead of on this board (two pair+ from the old man, two pairs and pair + draw from others, etc.). If we were sitting on an SPR of 13+ or whatever with a lot of people, ok, then there's a lot more to think about. But with these mostly small SPRs and this massive flop bet, we're basically playing one street poker here, and I think we should be cool doing that with a hand that ranks fairly well against the possible ranges of other good hands that show up here.
Also not a huge fan of just flatting here. Against 3 of the stacks, we'd be putting in 1/2+ of our stacks; we're going to do that to "evaluate" the turn card (where half the deck could suck and yet we'll have like 1/3 - 1/2 PSB left on the turn?). Even against the deeper stacks we'd be putting in ~1/3 of our stack. I think we have to go with it now.
