Looking at that flop I was pretty sure my hand was good, only scared of a set or maybe 45 or something of the like. Both of them called me preflop with terrible hands (and maybe I should expect that a lot). I made a pot-sized bet on the turn because I wanted to get rid of all the straight draws or at least make them pay, and I'm pretty sure any hand like KQ or KJ calls, and on the river I just wanted to check it down and see if my hand was good. Thoughts?

I'm surprised the two pair guy didn't attempt a check raise on the turn - maybe you saved yourself from one on the river? Either way, I don't mind the check on the river with the two callers, but heads up I'm betting it.

With no major draws completed, you are really only fearing a set or the obscure two pair, so I'm tempted to value-bet this river, but at 25NL with two others, I don't mind it

Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol
