I made a value bet against 2 opponents(correct, right?), but since one folded I decided to just take a freecard and check river. OK?

The raise on the flop is fine. It has a lot value and the freecardvalue is huge as well. It doesn't matter wether there are two opponents on the turn or just one. I would take a freecard anyway. You don't have showdowvalue and your fold equity is low as well.
You have to valuebet this river. His check is very weak so he either is on a busted flushdraw or a 4 or 3 which often will call you here.

Don't you think the preflop raise against 3 limpers and 1 poster makes more sense to put him on a K with a fair kicker? Tbh I don't remember what he had..., but I could also put him on a A-high maybe? 3 or 4 seem a bit off to me, but I don't remember what kind of a player he was...

I do remember that I have thought of value betting the river, but I don't know why I didn't... I think I had it had something to do with his style... I'm going to write stuff down before I make a post next time, since my memory sucks, sorry


Oh I missed that he was the preflop aggressor. (I'm not used that SB is able to raise in my evaluations. ^^)

Check behind is fine in this case as he can fear the K very well. On the other side he should get his confident back after your check behind. But he can as well go for a bluff induce on your side. I like betting against more aggressive people and check behind against TAGs and passive opponents.
