I play it the same. I wouldn't c-bet with such a drawy board and 2 villains.

Raise pre seems fine. And personally...I'd c-bet. You're the one representing a large hand, so bet. I'd drop $6 into the hand and fold to resistance. OR. You can do what you did and give up immediately. I've taken down a lot of hands just like this by simply c-betting. In this hand, it's likely you would've thrown away $6 more and so you likely saved yourself some cash...but overall, you should c-bet this and you will take it down (unless you have specific reads on villain(s)).

Nice hand.

I wouldnt cbet in this situtation. There is a very dangerous board, your OOP, and it's multiway, WP.

[SnappyJoe]

I play this the exact same way, c-betting into a multiway pot on a drawy bord like this is suicide imo.

Wouldn't a pf call be good here with heros poor position?

Wouldn't a call preflop be best?

AQ doesn't play well in big multiway pots, and that's exactly what we'll have if we just call and let the other limpers come in for nearly free.
