No reads or stats on villain. What is the best course of action this turn after the only draw gets there?

Poker Stars, $0.10/$0.25 Zoom Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 6 Players

BTN: $65.38 (261.5 bb)
SB: $35.72 (142.9 bb)
BB: $25 (100 bb)
UTG: $170.62 (682.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $27.21 (108.8 bb)
CO: $39.05 (156.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K

UTG raises to $0.85, Hero calls $0.85, 2 folds, SB calls $0.75, BB folds

Flop: ($2.80) 2

(3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $2.50, Hero raises to $7.60, SB folds, UTG calls $5.10

Turn: ($18) 7

(2 players)
UTG checks, Hero ?

I would consider folding your hand pre. It's too weak in MW pots.
7 is stronger for your range, therefore, I bet /fold turn, preparing to x/b any river, except J or 8.
If he raises, u can not GII, sometimes you'll be against the same hand with spades but not often enough to justify calling.
Problem with checking is that your hand has terrible hand strength visibility, and basically is too weak to bluff catch on most of the river runnouts (any spade, A, T,9, and even K?), and on paired rivers u losing at showdown very often, since u can not bet anymore after capping your hand on the turn.

Yea fold pf in MP is correct.

Otf I prefer flatting this IP 3-way and then getting it in on brick turns (or a K). You can't b/f turn here after putting in 90% of your stack, that is just burning money. Without reads I check behind and make a decision on the river unimproved, probably folding if he bets. If he has anything but 9T I think you are getting checked to again on the river and could vbet on some runouts as well.

Fold pre, I agree with flatting flop 3 ways and checking this turn.
