First short handed post
 

Hi everyone. I am brand new to 6-max(just started Monday) and was unsure about this hand. I am one of the few goofballs on these forums that doesn't have poker tracker so i apologize for the manual post.

Party 5/10(6-max 6 handed). CO is a mega fish. Button is a mega LAG who plays poorly post flop. I have been running good and probably have a good table image.

Pre flop: 2 folds, CO open limps, button raises, SB folds, i call in the BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and CO calls.

Flop(3 players 6+sb): A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I check, CO checks, button bets, i raise, CO folds and button calls.

Turn(2 players 5bb): A little red card.
I bet and button calls.

River(2 players 7bb): Another little red card.
I check, button bets and i call.

Is this a 3-bet pre flop against a LAG? Okay so i chickened out on the river i really wanted to show this hand down but didn't want two bets going in on the river and the LAG pretty much auto bet when checked to so i check/called. Should i have bet/called or bet/folded here? How about the flop check/raise good or no?

Without neither a spade or top pair, this seems like an easy fold.

On the river or flop?

I understand button is very bad but this is the kind of spot where you really should just give up on the flop.

I like it, but I'm still pretty new to 6-max and I don't play 5/10.

I would c/f. A third of the time we're going to be facing 4-flush by the river. The fish might call our raise with very little making the rest of the hand even move difficult. We are OOP, which reduces our options later on. Plus we don't even have the best K here.

fold the flop.
