The flop bet is too big. 1/4 to 1/3 pot. SB has a pretty big equity advantage on this board against BBs very capped range. The turn should be checked 100%. SB picked up a little extra equity, which is precisely why SB wouldn’t want to bet and get blown off of that equity by a raise. SB should check/call on the turn and let BB bluff with all their missed draws/floats. Then play poker on the river and either check/fold or check/call depending on read of BB. Hand will often check down as many players will only stab once and give up on river realizing SB is trying to get to showdown with a marginal made hand and doesn’t plan to fold.

I’d like to re-emphasize PatchPerson’s point about calling with ‘excellent’ odds in multi-way pots. I see a lot of bad calls in the blinds that players justify with pot odds, but forget to realize that their equity gets greatly diminished by every additional player in the pot. It also gets worse considering we have to realize this equity. Calling with offsuit junk in the blinds is just spewing chips. Offsuit gapped hands will barely realized half their equity in these spots because of reverse implieds etc. T6o definitely falls into this category.

Everything fine until turn. Even though you picked up equity, you have almost no fold equity with 2 other players showing interest, so the choice is either call or fold.
I think calling/folding is very close, but I probably fold. You could very likely be drawing to dead outs with the FD.

You’re 45 eff with AKo in the HJ and facing a SB 3-bet, why wouldn’t you 4-bet pre?
I would just flat v c-bet on the flop. As played you tighten his range to maybe AQ+ at best. Let villain keep bluffing/over valueing on turns and river. Board is super dry and static.
