Default Flush Draw Out of Position

Villain is new to the table - no reads.

PokerStars 5/10 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.40 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets , Hero calls.

Turn: (4.70 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets , Hero calls.

River: (6.70 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero ....

I was considering a bet at the end; how often do you think that would work? Would anyone c/r the flop and bet the turn here?

I would usually check-raise the flop and bet the turn. Given that you didn't, check-fold the river.

That would be one of the 2 lines I would normally take. But how often am I getting 3-bet pre-flop by overcards and how does he have an over pair?

Are you doing this trying to get him to fold? If so, how often does this type of semibluff work against a 5/10 unknown?

Often enough at 3/6. I'm new at 5-10 but hoping same principles apply.

Thanks for the responces. (I'm assuming the answer to my initial question was yes -- that is obviously the implication.) I should try to incorporate this line too against my more aggressive (better) 2/4 and 3/6 opponents. I usually employ a check call line until I hit, where I often check raise. I guess I'm so used to facing the calling stations that I don't bother with lines like this (which would just be spewage).

Yeah. Check-raising the flop costs you very little. For example, even if you run into Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], you have 12 outs twice (plus some remote backdoor straights), so putting in extra money on the flop doesn't hurt you much even if you get three-bet. You were going to check-call the turn anyway, so it is better to bet yourself since a lot of people aren't going to raise you there and you have some folding equity.

Dunno, I haven't played 5/10 full in a long time.

Betting the river here would be pretty bad. A big ace will call you here like 99.9% of the time. The only way you win by betting is if he 3-bet you with somthing like KQ.
