I would've bet medium and then gone over the top if someone raised me.

I agree that sitting on a hand like that is dumb with 2 other players. As long as you don't bet too high, pot odds will usually get them to put in a reasonable bet so you're almost guaranteed making some money, and it isn't too implausible that one of them will see your bet as a sign of weakness and you will make even more. Thing is, you are MORE likely to get them to bet by betting yourself rather than checking, so why check?
