My first impression is that UTG either has the flush draw or is hanging in too long on a 2-outer.

I like the way you played it, including checking through on the river Q. I'd rather miss a BB from MP3 when I'm still ahead than play into a c/r when I'm not.

Looks fine, and I probably don't bet the river either. UTG certainly looks like he's on a draw, but I'd worry a little that he might C/R with a random Q if he was sticking around with KQs or something like that.

At the same time, you might be able to value bet MP3 if he's holding 99 or TT.

As a default, I usually check the river through here, and that may be a leak.

I would bet the river, and expect MP3 to have TT or 99. His stop and go is curious, but I would still bet it anyways.
