This is my first hand at table. 8 handed 1-2-5 at Aria, 500 max buyin.
Sb is OAG with around 2K
BB YWG with 350
UTG/STR is MABG with 1K
Hero is 30s WG with 500
Pre: hero in UTG1 with KK45ds double black
UTG straddle 10. Hero limps 10, folds to SB who raises to 45, BB calls, UTG calls, hero raises to 250 and all 3 call
Flop (1000) : Qh6h6d
SB checks, BB shoves 100, UTG calls 100, hero..

Fold...too multiway, you're probably crushed (QQ/6x) or flipping versus hearts, probably both at the same time. Jam into field and next to act call with player behind is usually strong. It's tempting to jam for side pot against UTG but it's a guessing game whether he is drawing or has a strong made hand. Low spr tempting to stack off, but this multi-way I save my money. HU I would call closing the action though.
Interesting backraise pre...I'd probably use AA or somewhat better KK with connectivity and only if we have SB covered and can re-jam for a side pot in case he has AA.

Preflop I usually limp / evaluate these spots. I won’t always back raise here. Sb had a lot of red chips so I assumed he’s raising wide. BB had a chance to almost shove and UTG straddle implied to me he’d 3b AA 100% (and take position from me). So all in all it felt like the right play

A little strange the BB didn't put his 100 in when it came back to him preflop. How badly would he have to miss the flop to not put in 100 at over 1000? Seems like there is a decent chance he intended instead to move in no matter what the flop was.
As played pre, you gotta push in here. Maybe you win the side, maybe you scoop. You do at least have two outs, and the 45 isn't useless.

Imo you can’t put half your stack in pre and fold with such a low SPR.. You could be up against 6x or QQxx I’m not a math expert but we don’t need to be right all that often to shove the flop here and it be +EV. I’m 99% certain this is a shove according to GTO but I would say call pre because making that raise pre is a bit ambitious AKK would be a raise but not KK45 even if it is double suited... You need reads to make that play and since you just sat down at the table..

i don't like the limp wrap as i feel kk54 plays terribly post. basically banking on a set only and i think it's ambitious to try to fold everyone out. the suits are worthless imo (multiway) as no one folds a suited ace live.
you're gambling on the jam not having a 6+ and you're parlaying both of them not having a 6+.
the spr says it's a call but i think you can couple discretion with common sense and override spr considerations.
as played, i fold and wait for a better spot, but it's probably not a huge mistake to gii.

Hero shoved 250, all 3 call. Turn 8x sb bet 300 into dry side and utg called. River 2x sb shoves last 150 and utg folds saying he missed
SB QQ98ds
BB AKK6
Hero drawing dead on flop 🤣
