Default did i play this AK hand correctly?

Please comment on this hand, especially the turn.

I have no read on UTG and MP2, MP1 is very tight (11/4/2 after 300 hands)

PokerStars 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (7 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

No raises, so not that tough a field. whatever that means at this limit.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 caps</font>, MP2 calls, Hero calls, UTG calls.

MP1 caps. he has something, i'm suspecting high PP, or maybe AKs-AQs. Pot is quite big, so i call.

Turn: (12.25 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

MP1 slows down, so i bet. maybe he has QQ! utg and mp2 worry me, as i have no reads. but top 2 pair...gotta bet, right?

River: (16.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

again, passive field. bet again. but i'm not sure if i have beaten both of them. maybe both have beaten me. what to do in such cases?

Final Pot: 19.25 BB

any comment welcome.

This looks fine to me. Not betting this turn would be sucky.

*grunch*

Played well every street. I would play it the same and expect to see stuff like QQ or AJo from MP1 and smaller 2-pr, Kx, 9x, or worse from the other 2. MAYBE the flush from a really passive player, but oh well.

re. the turn - why would you NOT bet this? Checking costs you a lot. Yea, you might get raised, but you've got enough outs to call profitably, and any others who call along with worse hands just increase your equity. Plus, a lot of micro players will continue to pay off on the river "cause the pots huge", like in this hand. I've often seen 65o turned over here.

...grunch...

I dont see where you could think you did anything wrong here.
If you're beat here, its by someone who saw monsters. There's no reason to join them.

Also, the turn is an automatic bet. There's no reason to give something like the 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] a free chance to catch a 4th diamond on the river.

I guess I'm expecting you to tell us that MP1 had pocket sixes, and want to know if you could saved a BB somewhere.

I might 3-bet if MP1 check/raises, but i'm just calling down if anyone else does (especially MP2) because i phear the phlush.
