Default what should i have done...

only read i have is on UTG who has called down a flush draw then got the flush on river and checked behind

i figured UTG was on a flush draw again this time or something like 9J
i betted out too find out where i was at assuming any better J would of raised me
with this in mind should i have betted the turn ?

on the river i would have put CO on something like 89


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t3555)
Button (t1630)
Hero (t1875)
BB (t2415)
UTG (t2025)
UTG+1 (t2980)
MP1 (t4195)
MP2 (t1450)
MP3 (t3965)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t400) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, BB folds, UTG calls t200, CO calls t200.

Turn: (t1000) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO checks.

River: (t1000) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t400</font>, UTG calls t400, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t1100</font>, Hero ??

Final Pot: t2900

I think you should lead for more on the flop, if you're going to lead and lead for more on the river, if you're going to lead. Personally, I'd bet 300+ on the flop and check the turn with two callers for sure, occasionally bet with one, probably check-call the river, either way.

Looks like that 8 helped the CO and he is making a valuebet. I would have probably bet about 300 on the flop to price out some draws. Turn check is fine. I don't know if CO makes that river raise with anything that we beat. A weak queen would probably just call. I could also see CO having T9 and checking the turn to disguise his hand a little more.

Edit: Your river bet is too small too. Looks like a scared bet to get away cheaply from. I'd probably just check/call a small(ish) bet, or check/fold a larger bet.

Does checking really tell us anything? 2 hearts could bet, a better/worse Jack, A8 maybe...

I think there are more hands that would bet than would call a bet.

If I think im gonna get a bet from A8/K8, checking the flop might intice me to check/raise the turn possibly the flop. Queen is kinda tricky on the turn though. I'm not really sure what I would do when that peels off. As far as what I think your opponent's raise represents, I would probably say Q-9s could make that raise, and i'm probably making a crying call online and folding live.

I'd either check/evaluate this flop or make a bigger bet closer to the size of the pot.
