Hola,
well maybe a small bet or a check postflop
Preflop bet of 12xbb is crazy big
Check the flop. Sure it's a risk to give the free card w/ the straight draw on the board, however in a tournament you have to take these kinds of risks sometimes. Plus your opponents shouldn't be calling 12xbb raises w/ 78 or 43....
Let your opponents catch their Ace and stackem up
In this case I'd be happy w/ the pot since you got two people to call that preflop raise.
Your stuck east of the rock and west of the hard place.
Your reraise preflop generally means a C bet postflop. But top set generally checks on that flop. I don't like reverse bets. ie a small bets thats a fraction of your original raiase. Personally I like your raise. A tad under 1/2 pot. I think it was fine. The only way check on the flop and bet on the turn works is if your opponent hits a set. But just as often you'll get a third connected card and the free card allows you to be betting behind after the turn.
You flop a set with a straight possiable, you have to bet out, checking a set post flop will cost you money in the long run ! It would not be unheard of for someone to call that big of a pre flop bet with a caller in front of him with 7,8 suited.....Good play !

Txs for the response guys.
