I would make a PSB on the flop to kill the odds on any draws. If you get called, c/f the turn if no diamond falls. If you get raised on the flop I would hate to lay it down but I think you have to.

If they push over your bet? Or min raise you?

I think I put it in, bunch of combo draws out there, neither of them raised so I think a set is less likely, and we have back-door outs. Without reads of course.

Depending on the tendencies of the raiser, the size of the raise, and which villain raises, I think you could c/f, call and donk a safe turn, or 3-bet.

brutal flop. With one more player I'm not even c-betting this. As is, I think you have to put in the c-bet and get ready to check it down / fold to action. You have 2 of the A's in the deck, chances are they don't have an A. This flop could of easily hit these guys HARD. KQ and JT are huge possibilities here. I'm c/f'ing to any action and looking for a better spot.

Bet more preflop. Your bet was 5xBB after two limpers and from the blind; I would probably have gone for closer to 7xBB or 8xBB, hoping to get heads-up. Even if you only scoop the pot, that's not a horrifically bad outcome, and playing from the blinds is hard, especially multi-way.

On the flop you've got a stopper for the flush draw. I'm not worried about sets because 99/TT/JJ would probably have raised preflop. KQ is a vague possibility, as are JT, T9, and 87, but I refuse to freak out about it yet. I'd make a standard continuation bet of about $1.20 and see how things play out from there. I'm not wanting to push too hard, because then the only hands that call me are hands that beat me. I could even see check/calling the turn and river to help keep the pot small.

If I'm raised on the flop, I'm probably going to call; at these stakes, villains can get overly frisky with AJ, AT, or even A9, and QQ/KK think they have the nuts, here. I'll stay in this pot unless something really awful happens on the turn, but I'm not going to push too hard because I want losing hands to call me.
