I´ve got few questions about this hand.

1. I think the flop bet is at least discutable, maybe even wrong. Here is why I do it. We are 4 in the hand, and 2 of villains have got VPIP over 60 (one 60, second 83). So I think I might be ahead here, so I valuebet, furthermore I have straight draw there. Is this bet possible to be done?

2. On the turn I complete my straight, so I bet 3/4 of pot. Why that much? My straight doesn´t have to be strongest + there is flush draw out there. But here is the thing, is this good size of bet, or should I bet less in order to get called? Issue is, I´m afraid I´m too paranoic in spots like this, so my question is, am I to terrified of losing or is it good to protect my hand like that?

I don't think we will be ahead OTF very often vs 3 opponents. I would rather check back, but don't hate betting that much. Turn is fine imo.

I think this is well played. You can just check flop but betting is fine too. We have a lot of fold equity and we can improve our hand.

I prefer x on flop.
Turn is fine.

We should not lead flop. Turn is fine and well played there.
