Preflop: Hero is UTG with A♥, A♣
Hero raises to $0,90, 4 folds, MP3 calls $0,90, CO calls $0,90, BU calls $0,90, SB folds, BB calls $0,65.

Flop: ($4,65) K♥, T♠, 9♥ (5 players)
BB bets $4,65, Hero...

I can't just call in this situation because everybody behind me with a draw would call aswell. So my options should only be fold or raise (if so how much so i don't get myself commited?).
The BB seems like a somewhat solid player and there are not many hands he could donk with in this situation against 4 opponents (mainly set)
I sometimes have situations like this where the player who donks got an AF of 2,5-3. Would this change my decisionmaking because he could donk with draws?

Here is a good example of a more aggressive Opponent, here should a raise more necessary.

I think raising here isn't option as still more players left to act after us, folding out AA looks kinda weak, but i think we are beat here, if the opponent is betting POT size on 5 way pot, his hand is strong and also he is vulnerable to draws, so he is donking. I think FOLD would be safer option or else we can go all-in and play for stacks, but i think we are almost always we are BEAT.

Hello chocular77,

There is no point to raise. You are practically committing yourself on such a board. There are just so many hands which beat you at and the best against some hands you flip. I'd really rather go for a Call and reevaluate it on turn.

The guys pot size bet doesn't look like very weak either. According his style I'd even consider us being behind here. Which might even might be just fold right on flop.

Best regards.
