Hey guys, wanted to gather some input from you regarding the approach I took on this hand.
I was playing in a home game, there were 6 people total. There were 3 regulars(me included) and the other 3 more on the recreational side of things.
So the position and preflop action on this hand is as follows:
On previous hands raising to 6x was doing the job in terms of isolating or getting rid fo most of the limpers, this time I repeat the maneuver and end up going 4 ways to the flop OOP:
Flop:
Pot: $26
So here we are, top pair top kicker OOP, was hesitant to check this flop or lead it, as I think I have a range advantage. Ended up choosing to go for a C-Bet of $15 to charge draws from my opponents. My thought process is that I should be ahead most of the time since the players left to act have a much wider range.
So here I am, feeling a bit uncomfortable. I don't assign anyone QQ as they would've 3bet and I hold a blocker, but I'm afraid someone could be holding TT or 55.
I know the player in CO likes to pursue flush draws aggressively on these kind of board textures as one time I lost a hand with middle set against his flush draw. But the problem I see are the two regulars behind me to act, even when their range is somewhat capped, I was not sure if they would fold facing a shove from me due to the pot odds they would be given, they would definitely not fold middle or bottom set and I could be drawing dead by the turn.
Pot is currently $120, I don't see Calling as an valid option based on my analysis above, so it's all-in or fold.
I really couldn't find enough reasons to shove profitably as there are so many cards I need to fade from flush & straight draws and someone might even have a set.
I end up folding AcQc here.
Should I have bet my vulnerable pair on the flop being the preflop aggressor with the range advantage or should I have checked instead?
Am I too nitty to fold TPTK on this exact spot?
Rest of the hand runout and villains hand:
Any feedback is appreciated from you guys!

Rest of the hand runout and villains hand:
BB folded behind and later he showed he had , MP called CO's shove with , CO showed up with with the nut flush draw.
The runout ended up being
So MP regular ends up winning the pot with two pair.
