Default Flopped 2 pair in BB against 4 limpers

Table had been playing fairly tight pre-flop. I had already had A A and K K folded around with a min-raise in EP trying to get some action but post flop had been very agressive. I just checked my option in BB and flopped 2 pair. I checked thinking someone else would bet and I could c/r but it checked around. Villian that went to showdown I have played with a few times and is at 21/18 over about 300 hands. I had put him on A Q or K Q and played accordingly. Please comment on all streets although I feel now in hindsight betting on the flop would have probably been better IMO.

Flop: I usually never slowplay top/bottom 2-pair, specially not in a multiway pot - so I'd bet out here potsized.

Turn: Same as before, your bet is too small here

River: this is a call for me.

Converter is wrong, I am in BB not SB and Villian is actually MP if it matters.

lead flop, c/c or bet/fold river

your hand is not nearly strong enough on the river to c/r

Nairb,

Yes, betting the flop is a must. Any hand that would bet (Qs) will call your bet or raise you anyway and many hands that may check, will call (8s, gut shots).

On a tight table the onus is on you to build a pot with your big hands and to that you simply must initiate the action.

River is spewy. Just bet/call or fold. Looks like his flush got there.

Bet out on the flop and bet more on the turn, I would'nt c/min raise river - just c/c.
