50 NL 6-max on party. CO is stabbing around preflop with alot of stuff, but he's more prudent postflop from the few hands i have seen.

Folded to the CO who raises to 1. Hero has A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif A /images/graemlins/spade.gif on the button and raises to 5. Blinds fold, CO calls. All stacks are at least 50, mine is $105 (doubled on first hand) and covers the villains $60.

Flop ($10.25): Jc 9c 5s
Villain checks, Hero bets $10, Villain calls.

Turn ($30.25): Td
Villain checks, Hero checks.

River($30.25): Qd
Villain checks, Hero checks.

all those straight cards made me concerned about getting checkraised by a pair and a straight draw. I thought this might be a situation where i didnt' want to jam the pot since plenty of reasonable hands beat me already, and even more hands have a reasonable draw to beat me.

Like the turn check?

Flop ($10)

Bet the turn. You don't have to pot it again, but make a value bet...see where you are in the hand. USE YOUR POSITION to gain information.

Bet the turn. Do you think he's calling down with KQ or 87? Flush draw is more likely, and since he raised, I think a J is most likely.
