Re: Did I mess up the cowboys?
Good lord bet the turn. This check can cost you the pot, whereas betting might cost you an extra bet or two. You really don't want to give a free card, even if you happen to be behind to two pair or whatever, to one of the many, many draws available on this board.
MP2 call-reraising the flop could easily be a flush draw, a backdoor flush draw, a pair, a straight draw, a gutshot draw, or any combination thereof. It could be a made hand (like 55, 66, 33, or 47, but dem's the breaks.
It's pretty unlikely MP2 is trying to checkraise you on the turn, and even if he is, saving a bet or 2 to draw to your 2-outer isn't worth giving the entire field a free card on the turn because you might be behind.
Once MP2 just calls the turn bet I'd checkraise and play poker.
If I had played the flop and turn the way you did I'd bet the river. I don't want this getting checked through.
