What do i do here?

If there was 1 ace on the board, i would most likely check/fold. But with 2 can i put one of them on an ace?

And then give it up on the turn if he called?

He would usualy only call the cont bet with an Ace. So yeah, give up.

I always ask this of myself and others when they have a hand like this and a flop like this.

If you had an ace would you bet it???? Nope. So why bet here? You have 2 opponents. I think the chance of one of them not having ace is slim. If you bet, it doesn't look like an ace. Then what do you do when you bet and someone doesn't believe you with they're 9s and pushes over you? I am not saying check fold, but I think checking here is a good idea. If no one has an ace then there is only 3 cards in the deck that hurts you, maybe 2 if they both hold a king.

This is not as simple as most people think. If you had one opponent it would be a lot easier.

If I had an Ace, I would bet it

... and if called I would check the turn. Makes for a good amount of Shania.

How about a probe type bet of 1/4 - 1/3 of the pot, try to represent an A building a pot? Do TAG's come over the top in that situation or is the threat that I have an A enough to keep them in line?

No way I cont bet half the pot 3-way. You're likely losing to an ace. I bet maybe 1/4-1/3 of the pot. Only an ace is calling that scary board. Could either lead to a reraise (immediate fold) or a free river.

ahahha why? there is no draw on the table, and you most likely have the table drawing to runner runner, or a 2 outer. Please don't say that you don't want them to hit their 22 to 1 outer on the turn, so you bet half the pot.
