Who bets? Who check/calls? Who check/folds?

I think that I am more likely than not to be beaten by the turn cold caller. I had less than twenty hands on him at the time and hadn't played any pots with him, but the average $100 NL player has a better set or a straight there, in my opinion.

And off-topic, anyone think I should have raised the flop?

I think you are being results oriented.

[stu-unger]

your stack is like ~64 and the pot is twice that. im pushing here. i don't know that with this action i can put either villain on a set and if they do i gladly pass them my stack.

I personally plays sets and big pairs pretty quick, and so yes, I would have raised the flop.

On the river, that's tough.... it would be an easy push if you had more of your stack in the middle (or a smaller stack), but that being said I would probably check with the intention of calling something from the CO. If the CO pushes.... I'd still probably call. BB smells like AK, so I wouldn't be worried about that. And I can't imagine what CO would call a raise PF with _and_ call a bet on the flop with that would make him a straight.
