Unless you have an excellent read on both of these players, with that scare card coming on the river, and an overcard on the board, I would fold. I think most of the time you are beat here.

Easy law down... so many hands there that can beat ya including trips or a fh, a flush, or pair of kings

You wouldnt call the 20 chip bet on the turn into a $T600 pot? I would call the turn here, and fold the river. Exactly the way it was played.

hmmm - it does seem tempting when you put it like that but i still dont like it - maybe i just dont like being here because i would of folded pre-flop

what do the 2 other guys have when they call my big flop bet ? - maybe i should call on the basis that i might get to a showdown for only a few more chips but mostly i'm thinking that if someone flinches i'm folding - i dont want to call when i think its good odds i'm drawing dead and at the slighest raise i'm folding - when i put money in it has more purpose than that

Preflop: You did fine.....need to limp and see the flop with AJ.
Flop: Nice bet....you got TPTK so you need to bet it up.
Turn: I personally would have raised. You showed strength on the flop and I believe you need to keep that show of strength up on that turn card to test your opponents. I'm guessing they would have folded with the cards they had. If you get called on your raise, you're looking at someone with a flush draw. If you get reraised, expect someone to hold the KQ, KJ or have the flush.
River: I doubt you would have seen the river with a nice raise on the turn.
