you plan to fold to a raise right? I don't think calling should even be an option.

yes. I figured the turn bet to be the last $ put into the pot (unless I improve, of course).

Rico,

This seems pretty routine and good on both the flop and turn.

What do you do if MP1 just calls the turn? Lead the river, check/call, or check/fold? I'm assuming bet and fold to a raise just as on the turn but do you feel a turn call changes anything? Obviously the opponent would be less likely to call 2 bets with hands you beat than call 1 bet.
