MP ($600) have no reads other than that this is my normal casino and I've never seen him. He has been playing a lot of hands. In an earlier hand he folded to a second barrel from me when I was PFR and I double barreled a K turn on a wet board (I only had A high and might have been good anyway).
LP ($550) older guy that I have played with before. I have experience with him slow playing strong hands and then lowering the boom on the river. He has done this to me in the past and I saw him do it earlier on this table to another player. Overall, he is a winner at these stakes.
Hero($350) My image at this time should be tight aggressive to the player that is newer to me. MP older guy has seen me get out of line before. My image is usually a looser aggressive style. It might come up in the discussion, so I will disclose that this casino is a max $500 buy-in. I have recently switched to a $300 buy-in strategy and then deciding when to top up to $500 after playing for a bit. This is early in the session.
OTH - Hero is dealt K

in the SB. 3 players limp including two villains and hero completes. BB checks his option.
Flop ($15) A

. With the equity that I have in the hand I decide to start building a pot right now and lead out for $10. The two villains in the hand an 1 other call.
Turn ($49 rake taken) 2
I figure that at least one of the others has to have had a flush draw and go for the fat value - $50. Both of the two villains call without much hesitation.
River ($198) J
I fiddle with my chips for a little and decide I may be taking a little too long. I bet $165. MP villain goes into the tank and calls after about a minute and a half. LP villain sighs, flashes his cards at his neighbor and folds. LP villain shows J

after I table my hand.
I know I got pretty good value for my hand, but I don't usually play a lot of limped pots and I have been changing up my game lately to try to incorporate this into my game. Do you guys think a check raise is better on either the turn or river? Better to over bet turn and river to get it all in? Or fine as played?
