Local casino, 1/1, 8 handed £250 max buy in

5pm in the afternoon on a Wednesday, game has been slow, a lot of limp pots, limpers tend to call any raise up to £7 regardless of position, sometime they would do with premium hands.

MP (£150) - Young fish with a nice haircut and shirt, reloaded 3 times after calling big pots with marginal hands
MP+2 (£120) - Sat down only 30 mins before, not seen much aggression
CO (Hero) (£140) - Played very few pots, sticking top 15% range and some suited non connecting hands if on button, everytime there was a showdown, I had the best hand, showed no bluff up to this point of the session beside taking down a small uncontested pot with pocket deuces
Button (£180)- TAG, have been complaining there is little action on the table

I was dealt K T

UTG called, MP called, MP+1 called, MP+2 folded , CO (HERO) called, BTN raised to £6, SB folded, BB folded, UTG folded, MP called, MP+1 called, CO (HERO) called

Pot is now £25

Flop - 4 K Q
MP+1 checked, MP+2 checked, CO (HERO) bet £17, BTN folded (After mumbling about it being too expensive to chase his draw, MP+1 called (After almost folding then changing his mind), MP+2 called (Had his chip in hand ready before MP+1 made his decision)

Pot is now £76

Turn 5

MP+1 checked, MP+2 checked, Hero?

Is there any point building this pot any larger, I felt MP+2 might had me dominated.

Nice flop bet. There are plenty of straight draws that will call, along with worse Kx and maybe even Qx.

I expect this flop to get checked through a lot if we don't bet ourselves.

The turn is obviously a good card, as we pick up a flush draw. I'd rather this turn than a T.

I think we should check, because it's hard to get value from worse hands, AND we don't really want to get it all in here on the turn. If we bet $50 and someone shoves, we have to call, which is pretty unfortunate.

I'm checking and hoping to spike. Although I'm fairly confident we have the best hand at the moment.
