Hand 2: Why would you checkfold a flush draw and 2 overcards?

Hand 3: I usually go for a CR in this spot, somehow I decided not to in this hand. Does the added caller in between increase your reasons to CR?

hand2: lol, sorry I wasn't specific enough. I meant check/fold the river after you've missed.

hand3: The caller in between actually decreases your reasons for going for a c/r, becuase the motive in this case would be to knock out an opponent while you have probably have the best hand which is very vulnerable at the moment. Since MP is the preflop aggressor, we can be almost positive he will bet if u check. So leading the flop would be ideal, in case MP decides to raise which might knock out the other guy. But I think just calling is inferior to both leading out and c/ring.
