This might be incredibly weak on my part, but most of the time in this scenario (3 or more c/c'ing fish, when I have position), if I still only have TPGK on the river, checked around to me, I check it through as well. Not only have I saved myself a nasty fish c/r, I save myself the fish c/c with a hand that happens to beat mine. Had one fish on a Vegas 3/6 table earlier this week c/c my TPTK bets the whole way...with a flopped SET.

People online bluff more than in B&M's generally. Also if you bet into 3 people on the river and only win 30% of the time, you win money assuming your opponents are passive enough that they bluff rarely and you don't feel you have to pay off a raise.

EDIT: Well, that's not entirely true, they won't all always call, but the point remains that in fishy B&M's with 6-handed pots it's not uncommon to bet TPTK or an overpair into six people, get called in three places and still win. And yes, I play B&M more than online.
