SB checks, what flop line should I take?

I'm bet-3betting, mostly because I am not positive jason will bet here, and a check-though would be real bad for you. If he raises you, you will be able to figure out who has what before you see a turn card, and that's a good thing.

Bet and 3bet. People are very honest when there's a bet to them and the PF raiser is yet to act, and you have a strong hand.

[hobbsmann]

bet-3-bet because jason might also precieve your bet as something like a strong draw and thus will be more likely to raise/cap bets from you.

Yep. In a five-way pot, considering your relative position to 'ya boy' and the extremely draw heavy nature of the flop, leading does very little to suggest you have a big hand here. It's very consistent with a draw and so you should get big action from Jason_t and others.
