How would you have played this hand?

Table had just started and I didn't know CO.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

I think folding to a reraise would be a mistake here as I'm putting him on a steal and I've got 5 outs plus the backdoor flush draw with 7.5:1 odds.

Since CO did not show any aggression on the flop I'm not putting him on an Ace just yet. Bet is good.

Yep, definitely a scary move on CO's part. And I'd be looking for my flush to hit too... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's a tough one and probably one that I screw up too much. I probably would, as much to learn about the opponent as anything else. Bad?

I would have check raised the turn and called a 3 bet. If he checks behind on the turn I'd probably bet any non K or Q (except hearts of course) on the river.

I think by betting out on the flop you kind of put yourself over a barrel. I think you should either check and call or check and raise.
