Bet it! You have enough backdoor draws that you can take a stab here, although I guess the field is kinda large. I just think that if you pick up a good turn draw, you’d like to play it for a big pot since your hand will be disguised. Also, this is a ragged flop, who knows, you could pick it up.

Wait for a better spot. The fact that two players are gunning for my stack would force me to play more conversative being that fold equity would be greatly reduced. Also, bluffing, out of position, to a field this large with a mere 6 outs and very slim draw possiblities makes this an automatic “check”.

Check it and fold it to any action. Even if it gets checked around and the Qspades hits on the turn or and A or K, i’d still be cautious because your opponents are gunning for you.

check, stay in for dirt cheap or hope for a free card. otherwise fold. you got lucky once, you played preflop right, now dont be stupid. if they are gunning for you they might have played crap and caught middle or bottom pair. fold a few hands and let them cool off then keep playing right.

Check. You cant bluff all of your opponents out.
