A8o, steal from hijack with a poster.

[Kirg]

I'd mostly like input on river but am open to any advice.

CO is a 18/8/1.57 over 189 hands.
BB, I have very few reads on, he has been at the table for 9 hands during which he played 93s UTG and bet his 9 high all the way so he's capable of bluffing.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO (poster) 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.
<font color="blue"> I generally never raise this, but with the extra dead money I figured this was worth a steal-attempt since my hand isn't garbage. When CO 3-bets I figured he might very well suspect what I'm doing and be 3-betting lightly himself.</font>

Flop: (9.50 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.
<font color="blue"> Seems like a good flop. I bet hoping CO will raise to drive out BB. BB stubbornly stays in, I see no reason to 3-bet. At this point I also put CO on AK-AT, AA-44, a combination of high diamonds and/or maybe T9s </font>

Turn: (7.75 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks.
<font color="blue">After CO checks I'm putting him solely on AK-AT with possibly a diamond and a slight possibility of T9s</font>

River: (7.75 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks.
<font color="blue"> This is where I believe I should have bet. Unless the 9 helped CO (T9s, A9, both which are unlikely) I have him beat, and while BB could have anything, he likely would have bet a flush or straight after missing a turn CR. He will also call me with a lot of worse hands.</font>

Final Pot: 7.75 BB
