Why so big on the flop? I would bet smaller as to keep the pot small - you don't need to protect much - you're not scared of a A and so you're either way ahead/way behind imo (only to a set). I would just play check/call on the turn - idk if you can fold with this much invested in the pot.

Why so big on the flop?

Because it's a multi-way pot and I'm OOP for the hand.


preflop you could also 4bet and get it in with AKs there is no problem about that.
but ok you just called oop which i dont really like that mich.
on the flop i`d check it.
i mean the board is so damn dry that you dont really have to protect and you can try to c/c or c/r the flop
there is rteally no need in betting that big on the flop here.

as played the turn is tricky
so what range might chichi have here ?
KQs is possible, 55 88 99 TT JJ QQ is possible maybe 67s AK is possible but not that likely.

so we beat 99 TT JJ 67s and we lose to KQs, 55 88 QQ and split to AK

so as wee see half of his range we beat and half of his range we lose.
we dont need to protect against anything but 67s.
so i`d check the turn here and see what he does.

if he is agressive i`d check/call or c/r and get it in because he might bluff his smaller pairs and draws.

but this spot is really not very good for us :)
if he is passive i bet/fold
