Re: KJo
Preflop depends on the read on MP1. Raising is probably OK with no read. Against a tighter player with high raising standards I would limp.
The flop is highly coordinated with a 3-straight and a 2-flush. BB is a good player. MP1 may dominate one of your outs with AJ or KQ. I think it's high time to get out before you get hurt.
Turn raise is routine.
The river check is completely understandable. It's also really bad. Most of the time a straight will bet instead of checkraising because they don't expect you to bet with a 4-straight on board. When they check to you in last position you have the green light to bet top pair for value. They will call you down with one pair lest you have two big cards.
Sometimes you will lose this bet but that's the way it goes. Just keep betting and you will make a lot of money in the long run. Actually the biggest risk may be that the five made something like two pair that they are afraid to bet.
