Big blind hand

[Jeff P]

I would like comments on the bet on the flop (good/bad?) and then the river (should I have bet out on the river?). In hindsight, I feel like checking the river was weak. I have gotten several hands like this in the recent games, where I hit the flop like this with either two pair with a pair on board, or trips but I have a weak kicker.

personally, i don't think the flop bet is bad (but wiser posters could prove me quite wrong). however, i'm almost positive that betting the river is the right move. CO never showed aggression, so keep betting. don't stop until he gives you a reason to.
