Doubtful I have the best hand here as there are 2 paint cards out there, and if I bet I’m getting C/R near 100%.

of course not. a weak Q doesn't c/r you often at that limit, and a J or a 6 calls you.

bet to get a free card from the hands that have you beat, and to protect from the hands you beat.

Grunch.

My instinct is to check this against 3 oppoents because I don't want to see a c/r.

However, if I think I might get to check behind on a missed turn by betting, I'll do it to see both the turn and river for the one flop bet.

Generally, I check though.

fold it UI if someone check rasies your flop c bet?

Just to be annoying I'm going to point out that if the flop action goes 3 x check, Hero bets, 2 x call, LP c/r, Hero calls, 2 x overcall the pot will be 8BB, on a turn blank you'll be getting your price to call.

Ah, the joys of position.

OP: easiest c-bet evar, absent a read that the first two players will always fold to a PFR's c-bet and the third player is addicted to c/r'ing the PFR, or something like that.
