Is sqeeze ok with this hand which could call also?

I cbet a bit smaller because pot is big and I repp it could, also I like to give good prize for a bluff raise so that I can have shove range?

Hey GingerKid,

Both squeezing and calling should be fine here imo.

I think smaller cbet is fine here. We are in a squeezed pot + the action is still multi-way, both good reasons to reduce standard cbet sizing.

However since we also look stronger cbetting multi-way it's necessary to give flop-raises more respect than we would in a HU pot. We should have enough equity to call and see an addition card since we need about 16% to call and have roughly 18% chance to hit on turn + some implied odds. So our decision is between calling/raising.

I think it's fine to assume opponents flop-raising range is on the strong side here due to multi-way action. It means the situation won't be hugely profitable for us and that we should potentially just play our hand passively on the flop instead of jamming.
