You open 88 UTG 5-handed and get 3 loose callers. Flop is AK3 with 2 diamonds (you have a diamond). SB and BB check. Do you continuation bet here? check/fold? check/call if 2 fold? I don't know what to do.

So somebody has position on you? I c-bet here and give up to any action... if only the small or bb call I bet/fold the turn and take a free river

I would check/fold.

This is fairly straightforward. "Loose" players love to coldcall with Ace-rag and King-rag; against 3 of them 88 is your basic dead meat hand on an AKx flop. Give it up. Next hand.

Just checking, but you guys do realize that there is only one player left to act here, and that the SB/BB just called, not coldcalled, right? The question is kinda awkwardly phrased hence me wanting to post that. I don't think a bet is horrible here but I can't fault those who say they check and fold if the one player who has position on you bets. I'd actually bet often though depending on any specific reads I had.
