Hero: A3o in the BB w/ about $600 in front
Just got switched tables and had yet to play against any of the players.
Couple limpers, MP makes it $7 to go, a very small pre-flop raise for this casino.
Ends up with 6 of us seeing a flop.
Flop: AK3 rainbow.
I flop 2 pair with 4 people left to act behind me.
I check.... and it checks around! Crap! I was pretty shocked that no one fired out a bet for me to check / raise.
Turn: K
Pretty much the worst card in the deck. I checked, MP bets out $20 and get a caller before it gets back to me.
I fold.
I then proceeded to get into a big arguement with the player beside me. After the hand I was talking with him and told him how bad I screwed that hand up by not betting the flop. He was shocked that I folded my pair of aces on the turn for only $20. My reasoning, there is no hand that I beat. My ace is outkicked by any other ace, except for a 2 which I split with. Any K beats me so my thinking was that with a bet and a call I was definitly behind either an ace or a king.
Was I right in my thinking or should I have stuck around to see the river card/play?

You hit it right on the money. It's an easy fold.

Don't educate the players you will be taking money off either. This is a clear fold and I would have let the fish think i was wrong.
