I guess I didn't have a good read on him as he showed me 44 for a near nut hand.

First off, that was pretty cool of your opponent to not charge you more on the river.

Second, the reason why I liked your line was because with his flop raise it created a heads-up pot for the turn with the raiser having position on you. In my experience with typical party opponents in this situation, they will bet the turn like 97%(made of stat, but you get my point) of time which sets up perfectly for the turn check-raise. This line will yield you an extra SB vs. the 3-bet/lead the turn approach. If MP2 would have cold called the flop raise, then I would have 3-bet the flop.
