Background: Table is an extremely loose $1-3 game. I have gotten multiple callers for pre flop raises as high as $23 and a three bet to $45 was called by KJo (I had AK and lost that pot). The button on the hand I am about to play has been punishing limpers by raising large pre, getting callers and picking up pots on the flop with C-bets. I haven't been involved in most of these pots because I rarely limp. The only player that has three bet since I sat down is me.
Relevant players to the hand: UTG+1 ($550) is one of the tighter players in the game, but this table is really loose. Haven't seen him get out of line yet, but he did end up at showdown with random suited cards (think J6ss) that he limp called pre. SB ($375) age 20's very loose young guy. I cover both players.
I am UTG and dealt 4

. I make an exploitive raise size to $13 planning to play my hand for set value only. It goes exactly as planned and we take the flop 5 ways.
Flop ($65): K
7

After getting checked to me I bet $35. UTG+1 calls and after folded to SB he check raises to $105. I take a little bit of time and flat. UTG+1 surprises me and also calls. I am a little worried that one of them may have 77, but for the most part I think I am up against a K and a flush draw.
Turn ($380) My fears of 77 being out there are lessened when the 7
is the turn card. I now have bottom full house on a paired, two flush draw board. SB surprises me by checking.
I am not sure if this signifies that he was taking a shot and is now giving up or what the deal is. I elect to check with the knowledge that I am risking a K or 7 coming in the hopes that a flush completing card hits. If river bricks if checked to again I will bet just over the sb's effective stack since it is less than a pot sized bet. Barring a K or 7 hitting, I am obviously calling all bets.
I know big hand big pot, but decided to play a check here. Is this bad? If betting the turn, how much are you betting? Small around $125 or are you going bigger (over $200)?
I posted this because my answer would be to usually bet around 1/3 pot here and get it all in on the river. Looking for feedback.
