Trapped between fish

Both opponents are loose and passive. Was this weak sauce?

I bet the turn, check/fold river UI.

I would bet the turn to, if nothing else, try to get MP3 to fold and protect my hand in case it's best.

That's probably the last bet I'm putting in. Hopefully they both think you have AK.

I don't think its weak. I don't think my 4th pair will be good enough to let me bet in this spot.

It aint your fault, the cards done it to you.

I don't see value in a turn bet with the passives floating around. They'll call holding an ace, taking away half of your straight outs, and there's a good chance you're behind now, and only 8's can give you confidence of taking it down...I wanna see a showdown, the sooner the better.

The river checked through and MHIG. Both players had a K for the OESD.

Like the others were saying, I really don't think a bet is going to do you any good here. You're behind any Q, any J, and any T. Your K outs are pretty much useless, so you're drawing to what, 6 outs? And if by some miracle you have the best hand right now, it's either unlikely to hold up or you're not going to win much from your opponents.

I think you played it fine. I would not bet the turn in this spot.

I'd bet the turn and check on river
