I'm not sure how people play at these stakes, but if it was $1/$2 then I would risk giving a free card and see what action follows behind.

At $0.10/$0.25, I'd probably play it like a tournament and bet out.

that flopbet is ugly

You can make it a little more PF, $2.00 - $2.50, someone will try to setmine you anyway so make them pay.

Flop situation is sticky, I cant in all honesty tell you I know for sure the best play.
At this point you need to make your commitment decision, Id look at my opponents and if they are a bunch of setminers/TAGs I might let this one go quiet.
On the other hand if they are the sort to think limp/calling with KK-TT is super cool then I make a decision to play for stacks and either bet out with a pot size bet or go for a CR.

Re: Aces Multi-way
 

preflop looks good, your bet on the flop is too small, you can't know where youre at even if someone raises. Your bet changes nothing, anyone who was willing to call $1.75 preflop is still willing to call $2.50 on the flop. $6 would be a good bet, someone who flopped a set will show themselves and everyone else will fold. TT+ will probably shove, but a set will just call. As played, I think you have to shove the turn, someone coming along with TJ or any other jack will most likely call, if someone had a set+ which is definitely possible then you put yourself in a situation where you gotta pay.

I don't know, I make it $2-$2.50 pre and bet the pot on the flop. If someone outdrew me, they outdrew me. I try not to over think these situations. TT and JJ will pay you off enough to compensate.

Re: Aces Multi-way
 

Make it $2.50 preflop. You should be betting 3/4 of the pot and calling a shove on a flop like this.

*grunch*


Please bet more preflop. ($2.50 seems good, if not more). You want to punish the limpers, build a big pot, and deny people set-mining odds. The flop bet is awful as it lets people call correctly with all kinds of trash. I'd make it at least 7 on the flop. As for the turn, I think it's a shove, but this is really an awkward spot.

FYP

That bet gives you no information and allows the villains to draw at proper odds.

Make it $2.50 pf and bet close to the pot on the flop. If called with this betting pattern, then you may can slow down on the turn.

Not really. At that point, greater than 35% of your stack will be in the middle.

This hand should play very ABC given all the limpers.
Step 1) Raise 10% of your stack preflop.
Step 2) Bet the flop strong.
Step 3) Get the rest in.
