Just wndering is there anyway we don't go broke here?

I knew MP was a fish per flop and I got confirmation when the cards were shown.

Could we have done anything different?

Pre maybe 9bb raise instead of 12bb, flop you need to be careful as he minraises after a bet and a call. Could be QJ, 55, JJ, maybe T9 or KT or some really good draw... i think it looks very strong and folding after his flop raise isnt bad i think. Ofc if you decide to continue you go broke i think as the pot is that big already. So the decision is to go broke or fold after his minraise into 2 players, i think it is a close fold but i am not sure... people can be chaotic at these stakes.

I don't think pre-flop sizing is too bad out of the SB without position, and you already get more action than you'd like with AQo pre-flop. The flop is fairly dry, and I believe a 40% c-bet is sufficient; the BTN's min-raise looks very suspicious given your bet and the call ahead of them. Shoving is excessive since you have virtually no fold equity and can't beat many value hands. It's difficult to fold with so much already in the pot.

When the rec is midstacked. I would focus in the BTNs range. If he is not an aggressive player I could find a fold.

But without Info this is a broke with a SPR lower than 3 TPTK plus Backdoors.
