Default Odd turn raise, what to do?!!

BB is tricky, slightly loose. CO no reads, but not LAG.
CO calls, Hero completes with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], BB checks.
flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], check check check
turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Hero bets, BB calls, CO raises, Hero calls, BB calls
river: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Hero checks, BB checks, CO bets, Hero folds, BB folds

Isn't that a read?

Flop. Bet. In a short field, I am taking the lead at this pot most of the time on the flop (unless I have a read on who I want to check raise).

Turn. Fine, or you could fold if you were really convinced that he had a better Q, which would be more consistent with your river play, and less costly.

River. If I called the turn, I am still calling the river. You are getting 8.5 to 1 on the call. You are giving up too much. I am folding to a raise from the BB however.

i raise this up preflop against an open limper from the CO. if a player open limps from the CO he is generally weakpassive, and i want the opportunity to isolate him along with seizing control of the hand. its unlikely you are dominated here as well. i will lead at this flop, but i suppose checkraising is ok. after you are raised on the turn i am calling down. after the ace falls, completing theflush and straight, there are really no hands that a nonlag could have here that you could beat, so folding is appropriate.
