Uhh I can't really think of any other way to play this.

Seems like this is a very standard hand...

Your other option on the flop is to try to represent the ace. But with three opponents, I think checking with the intention of folding to a bet is a better plan.

I was thinking about preflop: just limping with this hand in this position with semi-loose opponents
But betting is probably the way to go I guess...

I hardly ever open-limp in MP. (I do it in EP, though.)

I don't really think open-limping QTs in MP with loose players to follow is bad. But I would have raised.

Looks fine to me. I will always raise this anywhere later than EP. Got to scare off any weak aces, especially weak Axs.
