Something's wrong with the converter?

im guessin the limp reraiser bet the flop and you check/raised?

probably the best way to play it. looks like the CO called you down with the jack?

I think this is fine. Since MP1 is nearly all-in at the start of the hand, we don't need to take his preflop limp/cap all that seriously, and even if he does have AA/KK, you'd want to bet and raise for value and protection against the remaining players after MP1 does go all-in.

On the river, I like the bet, but I do think a case could be made for check-calling instead, as CO might check behind with a jack because he's scared of all the strength you've shown, and a check would invite him to bluff with a busted straight draw he wouldn't call with. However, checking would also allow him to bet only with hands that beat yours.
