Default FTP 50/50 late tourney, did I get max value?

No reads on the PF OR as I'm kinda new to the table, about 33 left. The villian who called the OR has been on the donkish side, he's limped AT in EP, but otherwise played fairly straightforward.

I call getting huge Odds PF. On the flop I decide to play it for pot control and call the relatively small bet. On the turn I decide that QQ and AK are still within villians' range, or even KJ/KQ. Although I expect AK/QQ from the OR villian and maybe KJ from the second. On the river I decide its best to just call his donk out, as it looks like a bet for value with a good hand. I was also hoping for an overcall from the last villian. I think I missed value here, but I'm not sure if there's a better way to play this.

I also thought that a check through on the turn induces a bluff from at least one of the villians most of the time, or at least a bet from a hand that thinks it's best. I think if I bet the turn, they both fold

Table is 8 handed

Hero (101k)
Villian 1 (86k)
Villian 2 (95.7k)

Hero holds K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and is the BB

Blinds 2400/1200-300 ante

Fold, Villian 1 raises to 4800, 4 folds, Villian 2 calls, Hero calls 2400 getting 5.6:1. Pot has about 13440

FLOP: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villian 2 checks, Hero Checks, Villian 1 bets 6000, we both call

Turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Everyone checks

River: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villian 2 bets 15000, I call

Yeah it looks good to me too. I agree with you about the turn with 3 of you still in, and I don't think there's any value in raising the river.

edit: well, shoving the river is a little interesting, it would be more interesting if there was a flush draw on the flop that bricked, but you could have JT...I doubt he'd call with a queen, doesn't really seem like a plausible spot to bluff.

Just to check, same line if the turn is like 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] right?

Dave,

Stating positions in this hand would be nice [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

I did, you just had to work for it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

FWIW the other villian folded and the remaining villian had JT for the misssed str8 draw.
