Pick up pocket Kings 4-handed and I have two interested customers
Game is $2-$100 spread-limit (most you can raise us $100 over the previous bet). Blinds $1-$2. Effective stack is about $350.
It is 4 in the morning and we are playing 4-handed. I open KcKs to $7 UTG and all three players call
FLOP: QdTh2s (pot: $28). SB donk bets $6, BB calls, I raise to $30. Button folds, SB calls and BB calls.
TURN: QdTh2s 8c (pot: $118). SB checks, BB checks.
Do we check, bet $40, or bet $100?

Bet $100
raise more than 30 otf, bet 100 now, check back a lot of rivers
I'd lean towards betting around $40 on the turn here. It keeps the pot building without risking too much of your stack, especially since the board has some straight and flush possibilities. Betting $100 might be an overcommitment given the SPR and the potential strength of opponents' hands.
Any reads on V's?
The flop action suggests our opponents are both on a draw, or have some QX holding. The turn brings in J9, and we double block KJ. So I'm thinking someone has QX and someone has J9.
I might bet $40, and fold to a raise or a big river donk. If our turn bet gets called and it gets checked to us on the river, I would probably just check back.

TURN: QdTh2s 8c (pot: $118). SB checks, BB checks.
RESULT: I decide to bet $50 to get value from top pair. SB calls. BB raises to $150.
I make what I feel is a standard fold. SB tanks forever and eventually folds Q2o for 2-pair. BB doesn’t show.
