I like the line up until you called the turn overbet. I think I find a better spot.

theres no need to rais the flop.

its such a small raise that you are unlikely to fold any hands. just call and hope for a non flush straight out to hit.

Yuck. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

You have to be careful about betting your straight draws with a two-flush on the board. Here, c/c is your best move on the flop. Only .02 in a .17 pot. Good odds for your 6 clean outs, just call and see what the turn brings.

As played, if you're going to c/r, it needs to be pot sized or so. Too small of a c/r just builds a pot when you are OOP and haven't made your hand yet. The turn lead for less than half pot is weak. Not consistent with a hand that c/r's the flop. And then you Have to Fold, when CO raises you on the turn. Doesn't look like anyone is all-in there so you maybe are missing river action?!?
