Long time lurker, first time poster.

Poker Room 1/2 Hold’em (10 Handed)
MP3 posts blind of $1.

PRE-FLOP: Hero is BB with 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 (poster) checks, <font color="red"> CO raises, </font> <font color="black"> Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls.
</font>
No reads yet. I am thinking AA-JJ, AKs, AK, AQs for CO.

FLOP: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, <font color="red"> CO bets, Hero raises, </font> <font color="black"> MP2 folds, MP3 folds, </font> <font color="red"> CO 3-bets, </font> <font color="black"> Hero calls. </font>

Raising here to drive out MP2 &amp; MP3 and to see where I stand. CO 3-bet makes me think AA-JJ. I decide to check-call it down UI.

TURN: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red"> CO bets, </font> <font color="black"> Hero calls. </font>

Improved to 2 pair. Still in check-call mode.

RIVER: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red"> CO bets, Hero raises, </font><font color="black"> CO calls. </font>

Hit my boat! Correct check-raise, or do I lead out here? CO has been aggressive up till now.

Final Pot: 13.50 BB

Basic questions are did I correctly to go into check-call mode after the flop and leading out vs. check-raising the river. Hitting the boat was a bonus, obviously.

Comments much appreciated.
