Final Pot: $1.46.

I was not sure if this was a good idea vs two opponents, even though it did work out in this case. Probably it was the best hand. So you might argue it is a protection bet against, say, a Q or J (or whatever makes them a pair) falling on the river after both opponents showed weakness in a 3bet pot. Maybe they even fold small pockets, even though I´d be hard-pressed to say what I am representing. If you don´t condemn the whole idea, how about the sizing?

Yeah this is definitely the right play when they both check twice.

When they both check twice. I think it's fine, just to pick up the dead money with what is most likely currently the best hand. In addition we may fold out their equity share and if they call with a draw with can often check behind for a free showdown and expect to win often when the river bricks.
