is it all a default in this stack sizes?could we play same w\ AKK8ss

This board hits 3b calling range hard and you are up against 2 villians. I can hardly imagine what kind of hands could miss here, i just x-fold.
Against lone sb i'd probably bet-shove.

There's nothing wrong with flatting pre but I think the squeeze is better here. The tag in HJ is tight but he can also fold to 3-bets, and the SB seems super loose and weak. While the HJ range will be very strong, he will also be very high-card heavy, with lots of hands that hate being up against AA. And even if it goes 3-way, we're still in a fine SPR spot.

As played, With just over 1 SPR and our pair + backdoors I think folding is a mistake, especially after one player has already checked. I would never bet small here. Folding out anything with even a tiny piece of the board is a huge win for us in such a big pot.

squeezing isn't great IMO.  you generally don't have much fold equity preflop and there are a ton of flops where your hand isn't going to do all that well against not one but two ranges.  flat pre and then proceed from there.

you could three bet pre flop but folding incorrectly becomes more expensive.  having said that, as played i would lean toward check folding esp with such a wet board.  woof.
