Should I've bet out on the turn? Or is the checkraise good to protect my hand from a possible splitpot...

i mite 3bet pre with the 2 limpers in, not sure whats best, flops good

on the turn id just lead unless the guy in the middle had initiative so ur cr would trap both, cring the turn here just knocks out the guy in the middle (and it checks through far less often in that scenario since if the guy in the middle checks the other guy often bets) and u get to put in more bets much more often bet 3betting than cr'ing, cuz people are stupid and mite raise overpairs and definitely sets vs ur donk but probably wont 3bet a cr

as far as the thought of cr'ing to protect from a split 1)cking occasionally gives up a freecard when MP has AK AQ or if he plays it weak tight with KJ QJ AJ or has mid PPs 88-66

and 2) its only a 3 out draw for any K or Q to chop so its not something u should be sweating over... 87 and ud feel a bit more vulnerable, either way donking the turn is probably a better way to protect
