Overplayed or just right?

As we have learned in a previous episode I have tended to be a little tight/passive. I think I have begun making good progress, but I want to make sure that I'm on the right track. Any feedback on this hand or hands like it are appreciated.

I feel like I played it well, but I don't know if I should've called extra bets on the river.

Sorry about the extra code...first time converting hand...I'll get the hang of it, but you can still get all the detail.

Any reads on MP2? He called 3 bets cold PF, and call-reraised the flop, then led the turn after you capped it. It looks a lot like a set trying to get as many bets in on the flop as possible, and a set seems more likely than an aggressively played draw (unless he has 45s exactly) given the PF cold-call. I think you played it fine.

Looks just right.

Flop cap is good. You have great equity with the FD and possible outs to the A, K, and a paired board, and you might be ahead, though it looks like MP2 has a set.
Turn and River calls are fine. You're probably drawing.

Exactly how I'd play it. Even when you lose, if you know you played it well, it lessens the sting.
