What are you suppose to think about the CO player?

Flop: (5.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)

Besides the pre-flop call, he played it fine. Maybe raise the flop the first time but the cap on the flop was right. Maybe it's good for newer players to see why his play is correct.

I guess as is often the case in these situations I didn't see the flush draw.

I guess his cap on the flop is fine because of the flush draw. Even though it is the 4th nut flush, which to me means I'm not sure I would have capped the flop.

But what about his check on the river?

He was going for the check-raise which I think is the right play. If I was Button and I had top two pair I'd bet it.

Kinda fishy. Either scared of BB or was trying to c/r.

BTW, does anyone here 3-bet the turn with the two pair (Hero)? Also, what about betting out on the river with the two pair?

I like 3bet the turn. Lead river if called,check if capped.

By the way, (as one of the newer players) I see the point of how CO played postflop, but I would have auto-mucked 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] preflop. Is that a mistake with enough limpers?

No, this should have been mucked. Everyone I think is agreeing to that.
