I like the way you played this on the turn. However, on the river, it depends on how much of a calling station you feel these other 2 are. Would they call here with less than a pair of 8's? If not, checking and calling is preferable. If the person has you beat marginally and will fold to your bet here, then you can save a bet. And this might induce a bluff from one of your opponents who would have folded to your bet, but want to try to take advantage of your perceived weakness here.

Meh, checking is weak. No one has shown resistance. Good value bet.
