Too large on the flop, esp into two players - i probably wouldnt even bet at all. Turn whatever, idk if we have equity for a bet here. River not calling unless vs maniac - slowplaying a flush IP is much easier for a regular fish that cold calls in CO than finding a random blocker bluff on 3 flush 3 broadway board imo
Half pot bet on this flop is a bad idea. You must realize your hand is not so strong here, for example a 44 with a spade has 44% equity, QcJh 50%. Even if your hand is likely best on the flop (although of course they might have outflopped you already), when facing 2 ranges the probability your hand is still the best on the river if you get called on flop+turn is low.
River is a snapfold at microstakes I believe, they "always" have better than AK here ("always" = often enough you don't have correct pot odds)
Of course if you had position on both players it would be different. But if you would check this flop out of position with your entire range it would make things easier for you later on in the hand.
