Hand posted by request. BTN is unknown but fishy. The limpers are fishy, more passive than BTN in general.

I think you can donk the Turn to avoid giving a freecard to a flushdraw and i think he does either have a flushdraw or a smaller pair he can decide whether to bet the river again or to check behind if a highcard pops up. I don't see him ever having 3x 2x combos in his range. he isolated after 2limpers. A3s is the only plausible hand so either donk out the turn or checkraise the Turn but just check/calling down seems to weak for me. espcecially against a fish. He may also do this line with Ax. Often enough seen @lowstakes such a stupid overplay with Ax.

I assume he would have capped TT+ Preflop, especially due to the fact that 2 limpers being in. You don't wanna lose value. I would have donked out the turn for the reason that i smell a cheap showdown or freecard play.

Why did you think you could be behind and why you played it that cautiously? :)

well I guess I was thinking that I was actually behind his hand range. The board is double paired. Anyone with a 2 or 3 has us crushed. Its true that he's not likely to play a 3 this way on the flop and he has few 2's in his preflop raising range but the double paired board is not helping our cause. Also, we don't know what he caps preflop. We may still be up against overpairs.

If i lead the turn and he decided to raise then I'm in a very marginal spot. My hand is well defined as being an overpair. I don't know this player well enough to easily justify folding, but I also don't know if he's spewy enough to raise with worse.
