bluffing w/ outs, taking it too far?
 

I think this kind of hand is getting me into tons of trouble.

Flop, sb checks, so I assume he has nothing. Am I wrong in taking the odds here and betting out hoping they fold? It only has to work 1 out of 3 times to be profitable (and the draw will come in sometimes too.)

Turn: (2.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>

Is this a bad bet here? I'm guessing yes. Again, just taking the odds and hoping they fold...

Does this call suck? I'm guessing yes. Man this was a terrible hand... But I'm bringing it up because I run into this type of hand alot at sh.

I'm curious to hear what everyone has to say.

the flop bet is fine, just don't be doing it all the time against unknown players. since you got a flop call, just check behind on the turn and fold the river unimproved.

yes, the river call is bad.

Agreed. If the river is Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] the call would be g00t.

Edited because I'm a jackass that can't tell one black suit from another.
