How do you approach multiway spots with both strong regulars and big recreationals in the same pot?

This is a pretty common spot in live mtts.

There is a balance between trying to max exploit the recreational player and not being absurdly face up vs the reg.

I find this difficult to navigate and am curious how you think about spots like this.

If I have a good hand in a multiway pot with a recreational involved I play very ABC style. I bomb it if I have it I am super greedy.

With regulars involved I will have to be a bit more careful/balanced with strong hands too.
