Table seems pretty typical for these limits. UTG+2 is LP and MP3 has only been on the table for 4 hands.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls.
Flop: (7.40 SB) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls.
I figure my best bet on this coordinated flop is to check hoping to check raise MP3 and try to get heads up against him. The thought process is that the PFR is likely NOT playing a draw here, but UTG+2 could have one so I want him out.
Turn: (6.70 BB) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP3 folds.
I'm not sure what to do here. If either of my opponents are playing a draw then they will likely get the odds to properly call my bet, but if I check and it checks through then I'm giving them infinite odds to draw. Since I can't see a way to get opponents out (or at least make them make a mistake) it seems I should value bet.
River: (8.70 BB) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises</font>, Hero ???
Okay so now i ended up heads up against the opponent that I thought could be drawing to something. And to make matters worse the river card brings home the 4 straight. Trying not to believe in monsters under the bed I bet and get raised by a passive opponent who played passively until the river. What do I do here? Any chance that I'm good?
