Re: 2/4 Flop, River
Raising the flop for a free card is a close decision. You won't clean up outs because UTG+1 will have the odds to call unless fears a cap, but probably isn't thinking that far ahead and you won't cap. Going for a free card is a close decision because: your 10 outs are dirty (MP1 is acting like s/he has two high cards, thus eihter has two pair now or will when a K or A falls) and since MP1 has shown strength on both streets, your odds of getting the free card are reduced. I treat this like 7 outs: gutshot and half the overcards. 7 outs and a big pot is still reason enough to use the free card tactic, but given that you don't have value and are less likely to succeed, I think you should call instead.
River, the call is fine. Perhaps MP1 rivered a straight, but other than a straight or flush, I don't see what else s/he reasonably bets with and calls a raise from you.
