a better way to have played this?

[dark_horse]

spew? if the pot were not this big i wouldn't have played it this way. felt "forced" to bet the turn since i was representing the king on the flop. however, after 3 callers on this dry flop, i probably should have just saved the turn bet, and perhaps just check/folded the flop altogether.
