Before the flop I was tilting - I should have fold preflop.

On the flop I turn on check/fold mode, but... it was check around. I woke up and start thinking (finally!). If MP1 likes his hand he would defenitley bet the flop. If UTG+1 has a pair he would defenitley bet the turn. So... no one has anything and I can steal the pot. 2 is not the greatest card to do it beacuse it makes harder to hit a set but I put MP1 on OC so it doesn't matter. He called my turn bet and I decided to bluff river because his range looks really weak. Even if he has some sort of pair he don't wanna stacking with.

Is my thought process correct?

I think MP1 likely went to pot control some kind of middle pair hand or really checked back AK/AQ. He would fold sometimes to your river shove, since you have that spot all the sets and sometimes TT/JJ/88 that you´re shoving for value
So I think he would fold there AK/AQ and maybe also sometimews 7x and weaker hands, so shove should be profitable
