MP2 checks, Hero..?

I put him on a naked ace. I would probably bet just in case he had a weak 10, you can probably move him off it. It is a large enough pot to try betting at it to increase your chance of winning.

I bet here.

2 players with me in the pot, not just 1, so I put one on the naked ace, what about the other?

Eh, I like checking this river. He probably won't fold anything but a busted draw on the end, and there is an all in player that you have to beat for most of the pot.

The all in player is only a factor if you're bluffing.

I think this is a value bet.

You wouldnt be worried about someone calling with a 10 and a flush redraw?

A five and a flush redraw, and a four and a flush redraw are just as likely IMO.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more this is a check.

MP is more likely to have a ten with no redraw than to have a 4/5 with no redraw.

What is calling a bet that I beat is the question?

A busted draw mucks.
A 10 with a RD calls most the time.
2 pair calls, etc...

I might get the 10 to lay it down, but I think at 3/6 thats pretty unlikely.

check. you either get called only if your beat, or he folds chasing his ace high flush. you lose nothing by checking
