MP1 leading out on the turn when the possible (but unlikely) straight hit, and then leading on the the river after I had raised scared me. Who knows what party playas call down with. What should be done in this situation?

I would raise the river because MP1 did not 3-bet the turn when nearly closing the action, which I would expect a straight to do (unless he's real crafty and thinks you have set and wants to 3-bet given the river didn't pair the board, counterfit his hand or complete a flush, but that's a bit much to attribute to an unkown party 2-4er). Its also possible MP1 has two pair and wanted to see if the river completed a draw or paired the board.

Raise the river. MP1 most likely has some junky two pair.

I think you can probably raise here. MP2 probably has Q9 or QJ. I suppose at party 2/4 he could have KT, but the stop n go leads me to think 2-pair. MP2 probably has AA. I think you can rule out JJ or QQ based on the turn action. Cant really figure out what SB has, but I think most of the time you will raise and MP1 will show you Q9 or QJ in this game.
