Ok, I raised for value figuring MP3 would've probably raised if he had a Q and I wasn't worried about BB. How about the turn...

As played, I think you can bet-fold (probably check behind on the river). It's better than checking behind and calling a river bet, and if you're going to raise the flop, there's no point in calling to fold the river UI. The bet here is a value bet in case villain happens to be on KJ or maybe KT and will definitely pay one more bet to see the river. I don't know if he pays off with KJ or KT on the river, which is why I probably check behind.
