Based on limping and closing the action I’m not sure there is too much in the way of discussion on this. Feel free to chime in if you think I’m wrong but I’m not gonna wait a full day to move on.
Flop (250): Jd7d2s

Hero?
Johnny, you're 100% doing this hand a disservice not to spend time on the overcall to the 3bet.
I would either fold or reraise here once the $40 has been been called in so many spots. There is so much money in the pot that it's a glorious reraise spot. We have good info that the button is wide and we now have very strong evidence that none of the other limpers are slow playing a monster (nobody...not even gg is limping a premium pair or AK twice).
Most importantly though, we should
never ever be playing this pot 6 ways with a hand with such little nut potential with no initiative or position. You say it yourself in the first line of the post...
Hero elects to limp. ATo is probably ahead of most of most of the limpers but not many flops will be great
So why are we calling the raise? Our only plan is to mash the flop so hard that we're sure we're ahead and that's not a good enough plan.
Raise to $350>fold >>>>>>>>>>call
