River: (19.75 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (3 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP3 raises, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 25.75 BB

Results in white below: 
Hero shows 8s Qs (two pair, queens and eights).
MP1 shows Ad Ah (one pair, aces).
MP3 shows As Ac (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins 25.75 BB. 

My main question is whether I slowed down too fast on the turn. When the king came and MP3 suddenly came alive, I got worried about K-Q, and decided to just call down. There were so many people raising on this hand, it was hard to peg anyone on a hand.....what should I have done differently?
