$11.31 pot ($1.13 rake)
Final Board: A 6 8 K 5
BTN showed K A and won $10.18 ($5.74 net)
MP1 showed 9 A and lost (-$2.17 net)

Am I just screwed here? BU shows no aggression until I'm getting 5:1 on calling the turn.

I would play same way until the turn IMO. Its hard to say without knowing the villains very well what to do here. If both villains are massive Stations and do this with AT-AQ then I think you just about have enough equity for the given pot odds. (you need about 16% to break even)

I would say they have something like the following (which is a fairly optimistic range) on the Turn here:

Board: A♣6♦8♥ K♠
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP1    30.67%  26.25%   4.42% { 8d8s, 8d8c, 8s8c, 6h6s, 6h6c, 6s6c, AhQh, AsQs, AhJh, AsJs, AhTh, AsTs, Ah9h, As9s, As8s, Ah6h, As6s, AhQs, AhQc, AsQh, AsQc, AhJd, AhJs, AhJc, AsJd, AsJh, AsJc, AhTd, AhTs, AhTc, AsTd, AsTh, AsTc }
MP2    19.38%  12.39%   6.99% { AdQd }
CO     49.95%  45.17%   4.78% { AhAs, KdKh, KdKc, KhKc, 8d8s, 8d8c, 8s8c, 6h6s, 6h6c, 6s6c, AhKh, AhQh, AsQs, AhJh, AsJs, AhTh, AsTs, AhKd, AhKc, AsKd, AsKh, AsKc, AhQs, AhQc, AsQh, AsQc, AhJd, AhJs, AhJc, AsJd, AsJh, AsJc, AhTd, AhTs, AhTc, AsTd, AsTh, AsTc }

If we remove AT-AJ:

Spoiler


Board: A♣6♦8♥ K♠
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP1    34.62%  32.96%   1.66% { 8d8s, 8d8c, 8s8c, 6h6s, 6h6c, 6s6c, AhQh, AsQs, Ah9h, As9s, As8s, Ah6h, As6s, AhQs, AhQc, AsQh, AsQc }
MP2     2.74%   0.00%   2.74% { AdQd }
CO     62.64%  59.91%   2.74% { AhAs, KdKh, KdKc, KhKc, 8d8s, 8d8c, 8s8c, 6h6s, 6h6c, 6s6c, AhKh, AhQh, AsQs, AhKd, AhKc, AsKd, AsKh, AsKc, AhQs, AhQc, AsQh, AsQc }

I wouldn't like to say what the best line here is because I just don't know. It seems a tough spot so I'd like to see what the hand judges have to say, but I don't think we can bet/call it here,

Cheers

Hello pyropove,

You are multiway on the turn and it's very likely one of them even having 2pairs+ holding. Therefore rather play way ahead/behind than go for the raise.

Best Regards.
