I don't have the HH sorry.
Party poker 1/2 game. I am sitting on button with K9s.
Preflop everyone folds to CO, CO calls, me (button) calls, SB folds BB checks.
Flop comes A, K, 4 rainbow. The 4 is of my suit.
BB checks, CO bets, I raise (with middle pair), BB folds, CO calls.
Turn: dud. CO checks, I check.
River: dud. CO checks, I check.
SHould I have bet the turn or river? I don't have that good of a read on the CO, but is definitely not a LAG. Shoudl I have just give this up on teh flop? 3-way i couldn't fold middle pair, but I did not want to be stuck in calling mode so I saw it as either a fold or raise situation. I threw the raise out there, if I was re-raised or the CO bet again at me on the turn then I would fold (putting CO on top pair good kicker). Otherwise I get a free card for my backdoor flush or possible 2 pair / trip (not many outs i know).
Results were that the CO had A7s and took down the small pot.
CO said soemthing along the lines of, "why did you raise with that hand". Joking I said "I am a really bad player" and he said, "yeah you are, keep playing like that". THen I said something like, "you jsut gave me a free turn & free showdown with the best hand ... who is the bad player?"
Should I have bet turn or river?
