Turn bet is far too small. You are pricing in every possible draw. Make is a pot-sized bet.

The river is c hard one. It may have saved you but it could just as easily have killed you here. You could easily be facing FH over FH. Either way, there is no way you are folding this.

the turn with 3 opponents i thought i was up against a possible king so the way i saw it i was on a draw to a full and this was sorta a semi bluff block type bet. maybe a check was better?

That's probably a flop to consider overbetting on (Edit: or making a big c/r). I like your thought behind the turn bet. You are likely to be drawing here, so a blocking type bet like this is pretty good, IMO. FH vs FH is likely here on the end, tough spot, but probably played OK. I'm not folding on the end.

I don't think you need to pot the turn here when the draw might have already gotten there.

Does he really want to price in 3 opponents?

Betting the pot and getting called by one will give him the same amount at a far lower risk.
