What's the best line here to extract when I might be splitting ... I've got two villains left to act who are most likely weak enough to pay me off I just don't want to scare away weak A's, 2 pair, etc... I know none of their lines look like anything huge, but UTG +1's preflop raise could be alot of hands that might look me up...

What hand do you think has that calls the PF raise that splits this pot with you?

Either shove this and take it down or put some BS raise in and take it down. I see no real benefit to flat calling, and I also don't expect to see anyone call you.

It's a 2.25 literally ATC or ATSC

btw is this bad pf?

I'm folding this PF, but since you chose to limp and there are some other callers to the raise, I guess you have some set value to make the call. I'm still folding, though.

And, sure, there is a lot wider range in the 2.25s, but you've got the best hand. Not betting/raising is -EV. I still expect few, if any, callers. I still don't anticipate a split.

PF is super standard for me.

And I can see why it is tempting to just call the river, but no one has shown any interest yet, so there is no reason why you should assume anyone will overcall the river.
