A check looks good on the flop, don't think our hand is strong enough to value bet nor do we fold too many better hands. Turn again I'd check for the same reasons as flop.

What was the reason for betting?

I think I pretty often c-bet a dry board like this because it doesn´t hit villains ranges so well and people often think I´m honest when I bet multiway.
But I´m not sure if I get enough folds here. I also want to protect my low pair.
Do you always check a flop like this when you hit middle pair multiway?

Flop is a x/c, you may argue a cbet if you have the bottom pair in this case, but i think second pair is better to be check/ called.
As played, i would x/c turn as most K isnt folding, also you are opening doors for ppl to raise huge and force you to give up your equity.
River is an obvious fold.

I think you'll be surprised how little you get both players to fold c betting multiway. Checking is definitely standard. Plenty of draw combos on the board as well.

As played once they both call I would go for a check call on the turn.

Guess I´m gonna start checking from now on.

Multi-way for me is a check/call. Heads up I'm fine to bet though. Turn... yeah you're kinda betting as a semibluff so if the bluff factor has not much fold equity then you're just building a pot for a draw that isn't amazing.

Check call turn, but I'd add that if it was made too high then I'd check fold turn.
