All that checking on the flop doesn't scream A is hiding out there per se. if MP2 has a strong enough A to 3-bet, why aren't they betting on the flop to make a draw play... A-J or A-10? KK?

You needed to bet on the flop to define your hand a little (were you looking to check raise?) the MP2 bet, last to act on a turn with a draw I'm thinking maybe J-10, J-9, 88 that just hit, that is finally getting the courage to get some bets in. The 2 isn't helping anyone, check-call is going to get you 10.5-1 or 11.5-1; I'd be REALLY hesitant to over-call with the A out there, but you're the one with the read.

I appreciate that man. Didn't realize the hand converter was working again.

Betting on the flop into a 3-way capped pot rarely does much to define your hand, I find. At the 3/6 tables, I'm expecting both of these players to call regardless of what cards they hold. For example... if I got two calls after leading out on that flop, how would that affet your action on the turn? I think betting out on the turn, after the flop got checked around, would have helped to define my hand, because people would be much more willing to actually lay down a hand with only 1 card to come and a double-sized bet.

Since one of the guys folded after the other bet, would you agree with my call on the river?

I'm kind of call-happy on the river, so probably.
