I think I either check the turn or bet like 350.
It looks pretty weak to bet below half pot there.
Apart from that, I like to raise bigger pf, like 200-220.
Check on the flop is fine, cb on the river obv too.

Agree with sence that preflop you can make it a little bigger.

As played 3 way with a flush draw and possible OESD I think no use betting the turn, the bet size you should make is too big and it would be spew level 1, I would just check like you did on the flop vs 2 unknown donks (donks due to minraise) and probably cbet if just minraiser donk had called

I just check behind on the turn, too many opponents and it's unlikely you have the best hand here. Obv nobody thinks you improved at the turn (because of your pf raise and flop check) so betting here is pretty useless and you can expect to be called by middle pair often. As played i check behind on the river too as you may immediately win from some sort of draw that would'nt pay you off and can expect to be called by a better hand. You shouldn't risk many chips so early in the tournament.
This is a situation that I get into very often playing sit n go's. I raise AK pf (would raise to 200 here), c-bet against 1 opponent and just check/fold the flop against many opponents when missed. When hitting tptk i usually get it in and sometimes lose to a set which isn't too bad as a large enough preflop raise covers for it.
