AKo misses, river decision
 

I'm having trouble playing missed overs. BB is a pretty decent semi-LAG with 32/23/3.2 stats. He has a tendency to get over aggressive though. The other 2 are 60 some VPIP passives both pre and post flop that call the turn too much.

You don't have to bet the flop just because you were the last agressor. You will call a bet if you are raised, and then have no idea what to do other than call down. I would check and begin the call down process on the flop (playing it just like a regular draw), and only continue calling if the field seriously thinned, or there was almost no action.

Checking this ragged draw happy flop is a mistake imho. This is not a flop you want to give free cards on.

Almost all hands will be paying one bet anyway. Check and see what happens, maybe even c/r.

The turn can make or break your equity, so why put in feeble bets now?

I think you want the free card for yourself. You arn't that much in the lead right now, if at all.
