I have some thoughts on this hand and the way I believe it should be played, and I'd be grateful for some input (both on the hand and my thoughts).
Pre-Flop
Pre-flop is a bit of a train wreck, I hadn't anticipated so many limpers and in hindsight my raise should have been bigger, perhaps along the lines of 0.14 or 0.16.
Flop
The villains are a selection of 14/8, 16/10 kinds, with a huge calling station (77/1) in the mix - all over about 80 hands. Generally they're capable of raising decent hands PF, so I feel I can discount hands like AA-JJ, KQ+ from their ranges, leaving a selection of pocket pairs and marginal/useless hands.
Consequently, I believe my AK has them beaten. So a cbet seems logical. Normally I would cbet 2/3 of the pot but this time, given the number of players, I believe sizing it slightly larger for value is appropriate. I don't think there's much chance of somebody drawing to something that will beat me, but perhaps another reason to bet here is to fold out one or two players...? I don't know if that makes sense here or not; I have neither practiced nor read a great deal about isolating.
How should I size my cbet?
