Did I play this too straightforward?

Straightforward is almost always right at .5/1. Good hand.

No, it looks perfect.

With UTG+1 and MP3 trapped inbetween slowplaying is not nearly as profitable as 3-betting.

Checking any street would also be bad.

You played it fine.
Why is playing this straight-forward is the correct play here? It should be fairly obvious.

i think straightforward is good w/ the straight-centric board

1. The board is well coordinated.
So - checking through would be a disaster.
2. We have no idea where a bet will come from - so checking through is a possibility (hero was pf-r'r)
3. We have the best hand.
