When the board is co-ordinated like that and you're not the one with the straight then you have to slow down even if you have 2 pair.

Slow down, all right but do you mean Check/call or should I even consider check/fold?

Well, this hand was weird because you were the only one betting. I don't see where you did anything wrong here since checking behind on the river with 2 pair would be weak.

I was talking more about when the board is like that and 2 people are betting and raising and you have 2 pair. It's hard to know when to call and try to fill up on the river and when to fold the turn (or river).

I tend to take 2 pair too far much of the time because I know that they don't know I have 2 pair. I usually end up kicking myself for calling down though. Agianst one bettor it doesn't cost you as much though.
