Did I Miss a Bet?
 
30-60 HE, the game is now three handed. I have the button
and raise with A4o and both blinds call.

Flop comes Kh 4s 2c

It's checked to me and I bet and the small blind calls
and the big blind raises. I reraise and both opponents
call.

Turn: Kh 4s 2c Js

We all check. A red Eight comes on the river. Again we
all check. Comments appreciated and results to follow.

You need to follow through with a bet on the turn to both protect your hand if you are in the lead, and to give them a chance to muck a small/medium pocket pair.

I think you gotta bet the turn. You 3-bet the flop, presumably because you felt that you may well have had the best hand. There's no real good reason to think that you are behind now... and when you check, you are giving it up against a hand like a medium pocket pair... whereas he might well fold if you keep pushing. Easy turn bet, IMO.

It's much more important to bet the turn with two opponents than it would be head up.

That's exactly how I felt after the hand was over. I should have bet on the turn, but when the small blind called for whatever reason I got spooked. As it turns
out both the BB and I had the same hand. A bet on the turn
might have gotten him to fold, although probably not.
