BB x, Hero...?

IMO i don't really want to triple barrel off into 4 other people esp with 3 others to act behind me. Also by x-calling we can keep in worse FD's and end up realizing our equity a bit better tho not a huge consideration if say we bet and then get called then face a raise etc...

I'm not trying to "balance" or take a FPS line here i think that really only applies if you have a value hand and ur just trying to be fancy for the sake of it, but i really don't think i'm getting much to fold in this spot vs. loose villain's so my EV goes down for betting no? More importantly my value looks like 99-AA #36 which is pretty good and i don't want to be bluffing too much here as i can think of some better bluffs and ones that i can bet/fold.

Opinions? Think if i was HU with 1 villain this would be so much closer to a bet btw.
