Would you cbet flop 3-way or not? Please give reasons.

The turn should be a raise, I think, especially 3-way. What sizing would you pick?

I think I did not raise because I did not want to scare away Kx and wanted him to bet river again. But it seems a little too risky, with a couple of draws out there (especially FDs and JT) plus one player behind. Also we get value from the occasional Qx. So upon reconsidering it, I think a raise is clearly better.

If it were HU, I think a case could be made for just calling, as he has way more Kx hands than Qx hands. And he might bet them again on many rivers, but fold them to a raise.

I would cbet the flop multiway.

Your hand can very well be the best here. Multiway there is a bigger chance that everyone checks and we don't necessarily want to give free cards to 2 villains. So we can bet for value and to deny villains realizing their equity cheaply.

I will bet 50% OTF. What reasons? The interesting part just starts. We have a middle pair vs two players on drawy board. So exciting.
As played:
OTT 14bb raise.
OTR 24b bb raise.

Very surprised by the suggestions to Cbet this flop multiway, I never cbet middle pair on any board unless I connect with the board in some other way or with a read or absolute position, maybe that's why my cbet is at <45%... I barely bet middle/inside pair on a static board, shouldn't we be even less incentivised to bet them on dynamic boards??

I play it the same way you do, perhaps some percentage of the time I raise the turn if villains lead is very fast, which may get me thinking he was already mentally prepared to lead Kx or straight draw on most turns.
