Thought about bluff-raising with blockerz but eh. Let me have it. I think not betting flop was a mistake

I would mix checking and betting flop. Depends on how aggressive your villains are. You don't get called by a lot of worse hands usually.
As played I would prefer to raise that small bet on this specific turn. Kx should often bet flop so you most likely are ahead. But there are a lot of rivers you don't want to see and quite a few draws will call a raise here.
As played folding river seems to be the only option.

I would play it the same. I don't think this rec is worthy of a river bluff raise. We're just asking to get stationed by 2 pair+ which he seems to be repping with his upsize on the river. Playing like a wuss in multiway pots with recs seems to work well for me lol.

Don't think betting flop makes too much sense multiway, although occasionally with this hand, why not. You could raise turn from an exploitative perspective, because HJ hasn't shown much interest in the hand and this fishy sizing might not mean villain is nutted. OTR, I think a call would be a bit ambitious multiway Vs what villain is repping, and the fact there aren't many bluffs that are easy to find. However, if this isn't a call, and you do have some value (like flushes or gutshots that got there) in range, this has to be close enough to your best bluff candidate (maybe QxTc is better, not sure). Still not sure I'd fire off, as villain's b/f range may not be large enough to make bluffing profitable.

bet flop/raise small OTT.

another winner!

From what I've been studying I think checking or betting the flop would be OK, though I think I'd lean more towards betting multiway here. Equities run so much closer together multiway. But if you check the flop don't you want to raise his small turn bet here? Seems like he's drawing or has a weak hand and he doesn't want to check and see you bet big, so why not give him what he doesn't want?

You aren't very good at ranging your own hand strength in multiway pots.

I think its Well Played. I do wonder though, if we can raise the turn in case villain is trying to lay his price to see a cheap river with some sort of draw or marginal hand.
