Should I have called this river bet (10/15, no reads)?

A few things stand out to me in this hand:

1) His bet on the river. It was so small it seemed like he wanted me to call in retrospect. I would have definitely folded to an all-in on the river.
2) The cold-call on the turn. At this point I am roughly 60-70% sure that I am beat.

Please critique this hand and tell me how you would have done things differently. Should I have bet the pot on the turn? I figured that if I was called I was probably beat, and 125 would be able to make anyone without a flush fold.

Thanks in advance,
Zach

With two callers on the flop, I think you should shut down on the turn. The flush draw is complete, the straight draw was complete on the flop, and a higher two pair is definitely possible.

You are getting around 4.5-1 odds with the call on that river bet. That's a fine call.

I might check the turn though. With two people calling your flop bet, I think there's a good chance there is a flush draw out there.

I think you have to bet this turn. I think it is MUBS to automatically give them credit for a flush or AJ/AT. This is a 10+1. I think you'll see a naked Ax or KJ etc often enough to make this worthwhile.
