Live cash: AK, flopping top-top on suited board.

[wreaks]

Windsor $1/$2 game. A limper in front of me, and I raise to $15 in MP with (~$135 behind). The player to my left calls (~$150 behind, he just sat down, but had played kind of loose so far), one of the blinds called (~$100 behind, again he had recently joined the table), and EP limper called (~$100 behind, had been pretty tight). Pot is ~$60. Flop is:



How do you play this hand from here with my stack and the stacks of the other players?

I think there are multiple ways to play this hand, but I will give my best theory with all those callers a try.. I think I check to see what action happens on the turn and see if I can dodge a fourth spade.. If an early position player raises I might consider folding since I also have to fade a spade w/no redraw and another player is behind me still to act.. If it is checked around and I fade a spade on the turn and it again is checked to me I bet out the pot and prepare for what comes next.. If I fade a spade on the turn and EP bets I might consider pushing. But again a lot of scenarios to consider on what the action is on the flop and I am not first to act..

Additional thoughts would be that a player with two pair or a set will quickly identify themselves with a huge bet and maybe an all in.. This could also be tricky because a weak made flush or big flush draw also might push this flop.. So I now believe that any real betting on the flop makes this an easy fold.. Outside of a checked flop and a checked turn and no spade I vote to lay low and hope to call a small bet on the river for the pot but that is very unlikely.. I think a fold to any bet would be the best play for the money on this hand.. I assume the other players know you have either a made hand or a large ace which you have now hit. So outside of a really bad play or a sick flush draw hand you are most likely already beat if action occurs from one or more of the other players..
