If we do squeeze here, what amount are we squeezing and why?
Does anyone flat and play this multiway oop? Flatting seems very hard to play, but squeezing with this many players really puts us in a spot to face a tough decision on the flop depending on how many players come along. What do you do in this situation?

What makes you want to bet 6.85?

What hands do we expect to ship over us?

Is there any merit to 3betting slightly smaller and folding to a backraise? I don't think I'd fold to the initial raiser, but if one of the other two shipped I'd be a bit suspicious.

3bet of course, squeeze them - they're all terrible players especially the UTG one. You want their monies dont you? You have a ton of FE and just by taking this pot down preflop you're already showing profit with your ak

I like shoving:

- like 12bb out there to take and they're folding a lot,
- fish may call with AQ or sth, you got blockers to AA, KK.
- you're not making any costly mistake otf.

Or 3b to ~10$ and ship any flop if HU or any nice equity flop (overs+GS, FD) if mw.

Okay, that makes more sense. I didn't like just flat out shoving, but your reasons for squeezing make sense.
