I'm assuming MP1 is a kind of a thinking player.

So if you check the river, it looks like you either totally whiffed and made continuation bets, or have a hand like 99 or JJ where you're content to check the river thru, but will likely call a bet.

Either way, if he has a hand like KQs or A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] he will quite often bet here himself. If he has a hand like 88, he may check through and take his chances. So, if you check, you probably cannot win, and probably should not call a bet trying to pick off a bluff.

If you bet, there aren't very many hands you can push off here. Maybe if he cold-called you preflop with 88, or has AQs then he might fold.

Overall, this looks like a check-fold on the river to me.
