Both players I see for the first time! Big stack is playing 22/8 with 0.9 agression and shortstack plays 19/14 with 1.3 agression!

im checking this flop and folding to a big enough bet...theres only 3 clubs that arent splitting the pot for you

+1 on this. Can see why you led it, you normally have a lot of FE in spots like these so you only need to half hit to make it +EV, but this is actually a pretty horrible flop for you on closer analysis, esp facing a PF raiser who will have A2 the majority of the time.

Preflop is okay, A3 is trouble but suited and 3 broadway cards I play it. I prefer to open instead limp in these spots, but it's table dependent and it's certainly not clear that raising is better.

equity before the flop. Hero is well ahead thanks to his *high* being a lot better.
even if we took off the terrible 8 from villian's hand and gave them much more useful cards, Hero would still have pot equity edge:

for some reason I couldn't run a full simulation with all 4 cards to all 3 players. So instead, I took off the worst card for each opponent and put a random card in, and Hero's still in decent shape after the flop.

Whats the motivation for limping this hand pre? If you are trying to get a cheap flop then calling a huge raise makes no sense. If your willing to 'gamble it up' with this hand then you should be open raising imo and taking a little more control. The main problem with the flat is that it invites MP into the hand - when being HU will obviously give u the greatest chance of scoop or chop.

To raise pre or not is of course a matter of style/table conditions but imo:

open raising > limp folding > limp reraise all in > limp calling large raise with MP still to act

Now flatting when MP is not in the hand is not so bad cause you can donk many flops and hope for some FE vs button.

Flop is very tough since you would of course like to call button (or pref bet into him) but you dont want to play for stacks vs MP. But is there a way to achieve this? I dont think so - you are effectively stuck in the middle. If you plan on calling buttons shove then i guess betting all in is much better. Maybe check raising all in projects more strength idk but if MP has any hand he isnt going anywhere.

Personally i think the main mistake here was playing a big pot oop multiway with a marginal hand. Different pre flop action (open raise, limp/fold) could have prevented this.

On the second betting round.

A club flush draw alone is not enough to continue after this flop. You basically tried a semi-bluff and it didn't work.
