    I don't want to play AKo OOP vs 3 villians, including an UTG raise.
    Suited, I think a call is good.

    I would raise 250. I would probably NOT c-bet the flop if I miss. Maybe some flops... but I don't see many flops that miss you AND anyone who calls a re-raise (probably AJ+/KQ/pps .. and that's very loose).

    I would call and ONLY bet if I hit the flop, and even then would lay it down to strong opposition.

    I don't like to raise here because if UTG or one of the callers pushes I am laying this down.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    I agree, but I would rather fold here than take TPTK to the river vs. trips.

    Agreed, which is why I also said - "and even then would lay it down to strong opposition". If I hit the flop with this hand, and get any callers I would most certainly proceed with caution.

    In position I'd be inclined to smooth call. OOP I would put in a large raise (~300) and hope to take it down or at least get it HU.
