I'm unsure if I should be betting flop here. We're multiway, I block straight flush draws that they could call with (unsure if that's a good thing or a bad thing), and of the two most reasonable Ax's to take the Villains lines (AJ/AT), AT got there on flop, as well as multiple sets and 3 combos of T9. I'm targeting specifically weak suited Ax, KQ, KJ, QJ, and hoping that neither villain check raises any of those or wakes up with a hand. So I thought smaller bet size that still charges draws was better. Once turn peels off I bucket my hand as a defend equity hand, and when he barrels river I figure I am towards the bottom of my calling range (AK is Best hand I have after AA, TT, 99, ATs), but I have very few combos of those and need to call more, especially when I block some flushes.. Also he laid me an ok price.

Maybe bet(/fold) small again on the turn? They're fishy, still have a wide range, they call again with QT, JT, 77 (?) with a spade, AQ AJ. Maybe they don't raise you with some of the weaker hands beating you (bottom 2, straight with no spade) and you can outdraw them. And then check behind OTR unimproved, or fold to a donk. Although you went a bit bigger on the flop than what I'd have chosen. 4-way on a wet board I think you really need to size down a lot (if you bet). Maybe their range is tighter than what I say.
Just my 2cts, I have no clue, find it tricky.
