Should you ever semi bluff at a pot when you are out of position? Should you ever semi bluff on a monotone board when you don’t have 1 of them? Should you just check/fold to a large bet and sign at how bad the flop was for you?

You don't have a right to every pot. You whiffed the flop completely and it's a great spot for you to lose an awful lot of money. Just check-fold, you are OOP multiway on a J86 monotone board without the nut blocker and you have Ace high. Putting money in here would be suicidal

Too much pre I would just go 4x there or make it 50.

The flop depends on who your villains are but first and foremost one single cbets not gonna take it down there so it's fine to check

Agree with the others. Smaller pre. Sucks to get AK in the SB and whiff multiway but here we are, x/f and lose the minimum

I don't think you have to go that big. I think you can just go 40-45.

W/ 2 callers and no club in my hand I'm checking and giving up to any aggression. Knowing which hands should be give ups is just as important as knowing your continues.

You could try my new ploy of limp calling OOP pre with AK. You would have only lost 12$

I'm wondering with what BB is calling that much raise?

Depends a lot on the type of player they are.

Generally it's going to be like 88-QQ and the stronger suited Ax and stuff like KQs KJs.

Wider from there the fishier they are.

So boards like this are super bad for AK with no club vs two players with this type of range profile.

Calling a button open's 4x raise from the BB after the SB calls is gonna be so wide right there to include all two pair hands plus, and even hands like K8 and 64.

BB had AQ, CO had AJ.

Was there any more action? AQ shouldn't be putting any more money in either unless they had the Ace of clubs

It wasn't a 4x open, BB was cold calling a 4x 3bet
