I think you played it fine.

[disco_stu1978]

after re-reading I am ok with it too. at the time of the hand I was thinking I may have gotten a little out of line.

[AlanBostick]

Looks pretty standard to me.

[Andy B]

I think you played this fine. I would lean towards just calling the full bet on third street to let others in.

[Tha Stunna]

I would lean towards raising 4th to eliminate the third player, since you may be ahead or not far behind. Realistically, I probably would have called in this situation, but I think raising would have been best.
I have no other problems with your play.

I know that the Fundamental Theorem of Poker is dicey in multiway pots and dicier still in split-pot games; but:

Why put in extra money for the sake of making the third player who bricked act correctly? Raising will get her to drop; but she should drop anyway for one bet.

The key questions are: (1) who gets more of the equity from the third player's bad call, you or the better-looking low? (2) Is there enough of an increase in your equity from forcing the third player to make a good fold to justify an additional bet?
