Standard LLSNL hand: Raise ATo, get 4 callers, flop TPTK Standard LLSNL hand: Raise ATo, get 4 callers, flop TPTK

Found myself in this frustrating spot in a $1-$2 blind ($2-$100 spread-limit game):

UTG and UTG1 each limp in. There are a couple folds, and then I raise AcTs in the Hijack to $14. Unfortunately, the CO calls it, the Button calls it, and of course both limpers call it. (They all have stacks between $180 and $400--I cover them all.) So we go 5 ways to a flop of:

FLOP: Td5c2s (pot: $70).

Both limpers check. What do I do now, after catching one of the best one-pair flops I could catch with this hand? Bet the **** out of it? Bet tiny? Check-to-call? Check-to-raise?

I’m this spot I don’t think I would want to get too fancy. I would probably bet out around $35-40. See what happens. I would be looking for pot control if called. But this flop could just have easily missed everyone.

either bet small between 1/4-1/3 pot or check. if i havent been cbetting much due to whiffing flops and i dont have OMCs behind me i lean towards checking. if you dont think anyone after you will bet for you then bet small. usually if CO or BTN have a pair and they arent super old men they will bet this flop if checked to, you can then evaluate the action that comes after that bet. im guessing that because CO and BTN called your raise that they often have small/medium pairs.

no way id bet big. with the T blocker its unlikely anyone calls a big bet unless they flopped a set of 2s or 5s.

If anyone of them is remotely competent I check through planning to check call and possibly check raise if for example it went x x x CO bets fold fold fold and then to you. Mostly I'm betting small like some under-repped sizing. 15-25 bucks. I had a weird hand with AT the other day that went so far off the rails.

LP limps in MP, ABC player opens in late position, I raise out of blinds with ATdd, limper and ABC both call. 3 ways OOP.

Flop - T-5-2

I check, limper checks, ABC bets small, I'm OOP to limper but decide to just call, limper calls.

Turn - 6

I check, limper jams, ABC tank folds, I somehow find a call, limper had KQ and ABC folded ATo.

I would start with a bet that welcomes a caller with a worse top pair or mid pocket pair, but would offer bad choices to, say KQ, KJ, QJ. So like $30 or $40.

RESULT: I actually bet $60. Everyone folded and I won the pot.

Reading the replies, I recognize this sizing was a pretty big mistake, and I was lucky it worked out.
