My thoughts: I think checking the flop is best as the BTN can easily have AQ-AK in their range that didn't 3bet UTG pre flop. We also bloat a pot OOP with a marginal hand.

Turn is an obvious spew and we only get called by better.

What's everyone's preflop line here?

i like just call preflop, as played bet 2 more bb on flop and jam turn, a think only hands that beat us is A10, AQ, AKs, i think he is going to 3bet AKof, 88 and 1010 and we block a lot of that hands. there is a lot of combo draws in villans range like KQs Q9s QJs.

Not a fan of squeezing UTG with an offsuit Ax like this.

As played I'm definitely checking the flop, and I agree the turn is spew when we have so much showdown value and just isolate ourselves against better hands.

Pre flop I'm usually folding, but understand that calling can be fine. It's just that this hand type OOP multiway can give so many awkward spots against a UTG open multiway.

Pre: I like folding over 3betting and 3betting over calling. My action is very opponent dependent.

I'm x calling flop and probably turn.

Probably folding most rivers as we lose to TT,AT,A5s,55. Don't expect villain to tripple barrel a worse ace or QK as they block our turn/river folds (QQ,KK).

Depending on opponent player types I feel like it's totally fine to just fold pre (with bluff 3betting also being an option).

If you think the villain was wide enough pre to warrant a value 3bet I'd just go for bet/bet line, but I doubt that's the case. If that was a bluff preflop I'd go for check/call line on at least one (most likely two) streets.
