55 vs 2 opponents

Hay,

The CO is a 90/10/0.63 he raises when checked to. Tries to pull off the most retarded bluffs. (Like 3 betting a T986 board. And capping the river with something like 94.

The button is 70/5/0.5 he's a bit better than the CO but he doesn't pay attention to multiple opponents. He is focussed on beating the CO.

Im not sure about the preflop raise but I thought it was a good way to get the other players to fold.

I really liked the check raise on the turn figuring if I had the best hand on the flop I'd still have the best hand.

I bet the river figuring I'd call a bet anyway.

Comments appreciated.

1. Your read on CO is pretty far off. You checked the turn to him and he didn't bet, and he just looks totally passive the whole hand.
2. You could have had the best hand on the flop and not have the best hand on the turn. What do you think the button is betting here when you check to him? Anything? And is CO calling any two cards?
3. What are they calling with on the river that you beat? A 2, 3, or a 4? Supposedly your opponents bluff a lot and you don't have a hand that's likely to be called by worse hands, so why don't you check and let one of them take a stab at it (or bet their better hand).

I'd be pretty surprised if you won this hand.
