How fishy?
 

Was my call on the flop that fishy?
16-1 odds with just 2 overcards and backdoor draws.

Also, should I have 3-bet pre-flop, even OOP?

Not fishy at all. You had the outs to call this turn for sure with the gutshot alone.

not fishy at all. its a good flop call given the odds you are getting. Must watch for reverse domination from hands like KJ, AJ etc though.

Re: How fishy?
 

Good call on the flop, particularly given that PFR, the most likely player to reverse dominate you, had folded. 3-bet PF and hope someone caps for you. This is a premium hand. You want as much money in as you can get in and position be damned. You could bet the turn too. Make a note of UTG. Didn't raise his pocket jacks PF, sandbagged on the flop even when he had seen a bet called by three who he'd have to believe would call another one back to them, and then decided to play on the turn. File under clueless.

Gotta 3bet preflop. Your hand is way, way too good.

Re: How fishy?
 

raise/cap preflop, you might wanna c/r the turn

Grunch:

3-bet preflop, AKs is a monster. You have a huge edge against so many people, you must exploit it.

After 3-betting I lead this flop against 3 villains, I usually check against more. The call is good, you had a lot of outs (overs, BDFD, weak BDSD).

Re: How fishy?
 

I would 3-bet preflop (and then check the flop, versus this many people).

Postflop is perfect.

No. Just call.

UTG has a monster (your A and K "outs" aren't looking very good anymore). You shouldn't have to look at the results to know that. And you have good relative position for the river.

Edit: Er, okay, we don't know about UTG's turn checkraise yet when we get the opportunity to make one. So I don't hate the idea. Among other things, we could have an equity edge versus four remaining opponents, with our overcards, gutshot, and nut flush draw. We might even buy a couple of A or K outs, if BB or UTG has us reverse-dominated.

I still think I prefer a call, though.

Edit 2: Eh, never mind. It's probably at least close, and it's possible a checkraise is best. It's an ususual spot, though, so checkraising shouldn't be your instinct here or anything.
