    Looks good to me, it is a fairly safe looking flop for you so you don't want to lose your customer.

    Also, if you do wanna get it all in (I can't see why you wouldn't want to), and you're in this situation with one decent stack and one smaller stack, it's good if your raise is smaller than the short guy's all-in because Y has called your raise, then X has shoved, in you're position I would re-shove to get Y all-in and he's already committed because of his call with your initial raise.

    Obviously, if you made your initial raise enough to put X all-in, then X wouldn't be re-raising you which wouldnt give you the chance to re-raise again to get Y all-in

    Not sure i'm raising flop - if i'm hero and my cbet gets raised in a 5-way pot on a rainbow board and i have AA .. i'm usually always folding, never are you showing up with less than 2P here - i probz flat .. but i don't think it's too bad as players at this level probz don't think of that stuff - they'd probz still get stacks in with TP

    Shove if you can, if it does that thing where you can only call coz of the shortie shove(most frustrating in multi way pots) then call and shove most turns.
