We are 24/200 form 1,7k players 170 in money 10k starting stack, villain got 4,5k

UTG 41 bb, UTG 2 33bb, hero 80bb, hj 27,5bb, co 37bb, bu 21bb, sb 46bb, bb70bb

We opens 2,2bb with Ac6h (loose open but on bubble with biggest stack I think its fine), Co calls, sb calls,

Flop 5h9h6s (8,6bb)

sb checks, hero bets 4,4bb, Co with 400% starting bounty raises to 10bb, sb folds, hero???)

I know that my hand should be played probably as check call, but I didn't want to give them free cards and show that I want to stack them. When I check Co can easly barrel me off from pot (he was very aggresive), or sb can easy take initiative and it can be difficult to call them down on mostly runouts.

Villain was very aggresive, who like to battle. What mean raise in possition, does he do it with stragiht, sets. I am not so sure, It looks like 9x or nothing. What do you do? Raise, call, or fold?

Preflop
If the players behind you are very tight and passive near the bubble, I dont have a problem with widening up and esentially treat this as a mid position steal.

Flop
Your steal attempt failed, since you got called in not one but two spots, and one of the opponents have position on you. Even though you caught "a piece of the board" you could already be drawing essentially dead to a flopped straight, and if you are not behind already, there are tons of ways for you to get drawn out on. So I would definitely check and evaluate here, and I dont expect to win this hand very often against two opponents, who both have a range, which just nail this board.

As played it sucks to fold to a small raise, but I just dont see, how its going to be profitable to get involved in a big pot out of position with such a bad hand. Even if he is raising a hand like JT of hearts, he is slightly ahead in equity, and unless you spike a 6 or an A, he can barrel you off on later streets. So just fold, and next time dont waste the C-bet either. Or if CO was actually floating you a lot preflop, maybe reconsider, if this was a good spot to open in the first place.
