AA multiway and feeling lost like a snake on a plane

[munkey]

I think I played this hand horribly and after converting in more ways than I first thought.
Reads:

SB unkown shortie.
BB ~ 50% VPIP and why I've joined the table.
CO okish player, not positionally aware, multitabling 25/5/2 (6 river) over 225 hands.
Though he did call a PFR with 23s UTG after limping then call PSB on flop with bottom pair no draws and then small turn bet so I'm not so sure.

<font color="blue"> I messed up here - didn't realise until converted, for some reason I thought the pot was 6 and bet 4 -would normally bet 6 which probably led to more callers. </font>

Two gone and one left - now what has CO got that bets 16.5 into a 50$ pot , I put him on AK,KQ,88,77,KK busted fdraw, fdraw and a pair and 78 2pair. I think he has Ak, 78 most likely and his weak river bet( like my flop bet [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) I push given read and sizeof the pot.

So how should Hero have proceeded.

I agree: bet more (PSB) on flop... exactly the flop you were looking for.

Open turn... board is still pretty non-threatening. As played, reraise CO.

I would open river but like the reraise of the 1/3pot bet and am happy going to the felt with overpair

turn, i like leading, dont want to chance giving a free card. The river helps your hand, but im not sure im raising this bet.

I hate the turn check. Given the texture of the board, you're most likely up against pair hands and draws. I'd bet 3/4 on the turn. As played, I would reraise that 6 dollar bet big time.

Bet more all around. Bet the turn. Protect your hand. I would have bet $8 on the flop and probably have been all in on the turn or river, given the # of callers.

[Womble]

4 players = pot flop. I understand betting $6 here but I only do that with 1-2 opponents.

Turn - pot again or slighly under. In this instacne I would bet 20.

River - If your here its an easy AI (since betting turn and stuff) BUT since your bet into I just call. You are probably ahead but I think its close. You should be the one betting

Ok many thanks for the help all.
