One of the areas I've identified as a leak is that I'm not value betting enough on the river.
Recently I played this hand. I'd like some comments.

MP1 checks, Hero....?
MP1's play just screams "Slowplaying a made hand." Was he slowplaying two pair, a flopped straight or a draw that came through on the turn or river?
Do you bet here, or check behind?
