Small field, usually runs as a 2 to 4 table event, getting to a FT fairly quickly.

This is more of a general strat question, but the specific hand is as follows:

We're early on the FT, Hero has solid chip lead and many short (but still playable ~25BB+) stacks.

Four limpers to Hero in the BB who checks, then flops three pairs (and a three card straight).

Hero: J T 9 5 ssxx
Flop: Jh 9h 5d

I lead pot and get two callers from 30BB+ stacks. I have 100BB+

Question 1: Is it best to lead pot in this spot, or check/call?

Turn is Ad

I see this as neither the best nor worst card in the deck, as I have both callers on wraps/fds. it's quite possible they have Ah to make two pair, but I'm repping mostly sets and will find it hard to call A5xx or similar.

Question 2: Can I turn my hand into a bluff and lead pot again here?

Spoiler:
As it turns out, I lead pot again, get one caller and the second player folds. The river bricks, we check it through, and my J9 two pair is good. The second player laments that he had A5. I'm not sure how many players with equity to call the flop lead, would then fold to another barrel ott after picking up two pair. Lucky for me, or standard fold facing two pot barrels for player 2?

Almost every turn card changes the board and Inassume they aren't sickos so it seems good hand to check decide being in relative position to 1st limper.

What's the spr ott?

effective stacks are around 25BB ott, so it's essentially SPR~1 and a tournament decider for either V to continue. good reason to hammer it?

Check evaluate - normally check folding.

You want to be "hammering it" last to act.

You will find, or contrive way better spots to pressure shorter stacks.
