1. Bet how much? Check? What to do if you get raised?

2. If River is blank? What do ya do?

No read on villain, just sat down.

1) With three limpers in front of you, you absolutely HAVE to raise more preflop. AQ does not play well in a large field. I'd make it 6 or even 8 BB here ($12 - $14), and I'd be tempted to raise even more if I knew that some of the limpers were super loose calling stations.

2) With 3 opponents and a board like this, I'm actually willing to check/fold this on the flop if anyone shows any strength. Mathematically, there's a pretty good chance someone already has the flush, and if not you can guarantee someone's drawing. You have NO fold equity in a field this big, and your odds of still being ahead by the river are pretty slim.

If I had reads, I might play it differently, but in a large field of unknowns, I play extra cautious.

aren't you in the sb not UTG?

i would raise preflop probably to around 12-14

as played bet turn again he either has a weaker A with a heart or the King of hearts either way giving him a free river is horrible.
