Feels like there is more to be won than full ring.

Yeah, that's what most people around here think.

As for the hand, I don't like the flop check-raise. There's no guarantee that MP will bet, and giving a free card here is no good with a hand as sensitive as yours. If you bet out, you give BB 4-1 odds, and with the check-raise, BB now has 3-1. Somehow I doubt BB has just 10 or 11 outs and will make the fold here. But I digress.

The way it was played, I can't imagine not betting the river. If you were beaten on the turn, you're beaten now. The Q doesn't change anything except that villain's two pair just got counterfeited, if that's what villain had. And if villain was hanging around for the BDFD, well, what are you gonna do? Bet, and if raised, a fold wouldn't be bad. Reads would help immensely with that decision though.
