[Hamlet]

I prefer the bet, 3-bet line, because thinning the field with this hand is not a bad result. You have a massive number of outs that could be cleaned up by thinning the field. If you can get someone holding a 3, 4, 5, or single high spade to fold, you will increase your odds of winning, or avoid a chopped pot (for the 5).

You don't mind them calling, but I'd rather have them pay 1 or 3 bets rather than 0 or 2. If I didn't have the pair, I would like check-raising more. Either play is going to be okay though.

I think 3-betting the turn is the best play. You put one of your opponents on a high spade, and the other is aggressive. He doesn't need a flush to raise here. Charge him. Bet a blank river. Flush over flush is an unfortunate possibility, but relatively rare. Suck it up and 3-bet.

Why, I am not being results oriented I swear, because if the aggressive UTG raises he shuts out the field of suckers you want putting in money when you have like 50% or more equity.
