Wow, lots of players heh.

I don't mind waiting until the turn here to try to get rid of five outers, or something. The pot is so huge that it's really difficult to protect your hand, but waiting until the turn might bet the best way to do that.

Given that you waited until the turn, checked and got the perfect action (checked to flop raiser who bets out) you HAVE to raise.

I think three-betting the flop might be better though, I will have to think about this one.

EDIT: Oh I would certainly have three-bet this preflop. Even OOP you likely have a huge equity overlap here and you should push it. You don't mind playing a tremendous multiway pot with AQs either, if that's what develops.

I agree that you should have checkraised the flop.

Check-raise that flop to knock out the 3 between you. SB and the poster don't really have to have great hands to have called pf and will be more likely to fold for 1 bet, anyway.

Call down if 3-bet.

3-bet ATs+ PF out of the blinds with this many callers 100% of the time.
