2-5 Omaha, 3 bet pot multiway with overpair
I keep ending up in this spot a lot and I'm not sure what to do.
The players are calling very wide and don't really fold.
UTG - 100BB - Whale usually playing 85% VPIP
HJ - 19BB short stack fish 75% VPIP
CO - have marked as a bit fishy 75BB
BB - 25BB - 40% VPIP (loose and fishy)
SB - 100BB - Good player
Hero - 140BB in BB
Preflop: Hero has Ks Kh 3s 2h in BB
UTG raises to 3.4BB, HJ calls, CO calls, BTN calls, SB calls, Hero raises to 20.40BB, UTG folds, HJ is all-in for less (19BB), CO calls, BTN folds, SB calls
Flop: Qs Th 3h (Pot 97.20BB) (4 players) (1 player is all-in)
Sb checks, Hero?
Do you just pot and get it in? (stack to pot ratio is effectively 1:1 vs SB (less vs CO) Do you bet something small? Do you check and see what happens? (maybe call CO shove and fold if SB calls?)
I find myself in this situations a lot and not sure what to do.

There is no decision here other than if the 3b is good pre or not.
As a heuristic I’d shy away from 3b any hands with cards below a 5. This plays fine as a call and at that SPR you would theoretically have some decisions post flop.
As this stands currently tho there is no decision. Money goes in. How it gets in is up to you and your reads/table dynamics. There is no folding this hand tho.
There's no decision postflop, just pot.
Preflop is interesting, I like the idea of a 'shy away from 3betting cards below a 5'. This does seem like a spot we can balance our calls and 3b squeezes. Could be a small mistake online but it's gotta be fine with this lineup.
