Bet/fold seems like your best option alright.

Check and give him a free card doesn't make a lot of sense, unless...
What do you think about checking back and delaying your CBet?
You can bet just about any turn card, though you'd hate to see an A or a J or even a 9.

We are MW, board is super wet, and we do not want to give free cards.

I can't really say if the squeeze is good here or bad.

Checking obviously sucks cuz it only lead us to very difficult spot

But considering reg's small AF, what about beting small like 2,5-3 for info and fold against reg's raise, cuz he shouldn't push monster draws against such a small sizing cuz he should want to keep CO in the hand , and ofc against only CO who looks fishy I am going broke here, because we have no info and without info I am not folding TPGK in 3 bet when invested so much already

Squeezing is perfectly ok here.

Squeeze seems OK to me. OTF in general i don´t cbet a lot OTF in this spot but given how wet is board and that one villain looks loose and the second probably fish, cbet is probably the best option.

I'd say this is almost the ideal squeezing situation.

I would probably make it larger, though - if I'm UTG in this situation (which looking at those stats I'm not, but you know what I mean) I'd call with a wider-than-usual range given those odds as CO is almost certainly going to come along.

What about just calling pre and keeping UTG on wider range and keeping fishy CO in the game ? Cuz if we squeeze here , we're doing it for bluff right ?

Our hand does not play well in a MW pot, in addition we will be dominated by UTG.

The squeeze here is a semi-bluff -- and I think that this is the perfect spot for it.
The problem comes OTF, when we hit top pair.
We could be dominated vs either players AQ,
We have a backdoor straight draw, no flush draws, and could be facing either -- but they don't know that.

The CBet is itself a semi-bluff here, and faced with aggression we're in a tight spot.
We showed strength with the squeeze, If we follow up with the CBet we just might get the pot.

If we don't get the pot, then we might have to give up on the turn or river.

If we check the flop, one of the other two will almost certainly stab at it OTT. If not, the pot is pretty much ours with a turn bet.
If they do stab at it, we can decide then.
So that was the purpose in asking if a delayed CBet makes sense here. As nitrol pointed out, checking the flop gives them both a free card.

And again, Ewww, I hate these spots...
