Nut flushdraw OOP

[Randal Graves]

Just started out NLHE cashgames. Switched from FL upto 5/10 to NL100 now.

Here is the hand I am concerned about:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $112.85
UTG+1: $43.80
MP1: $99
MP2: $98
CO: $68.40
Button: $57.05
Hero: $88
BB: $59

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($4, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4</font>, 2 folds, CO calls.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($12, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $9</font>, CO calls.

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($30, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $28</font>, CO folds.
Uncalled bets: $28 returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: $30

Should I even bet the draw? Are the betsized acceptable?
Should I try to make a smaller bet on the river to make a call more likely?
Generally, what things to consider when playing a FD OOP?

Anyone who would care to clarify things for me or give me link to a good thread or something?
Anything at all appreciated.

randal,
i think you played all streets great. another option you can take is to check/call the flop, as there are many players in and it's unlikely you'll take it down.

[DrMagic]

It depends really. I sometimes lead this flop, sometimes c/r, sometimes c/c, sometimes c/f. With one caller I like a turn bet and the river is fine though against some villains I would bet less or try a c/r depending on their river AF.

Id play it the same, nh

Thanks guys.
If the river would have been a non-diamond, non 6, non ace card, would you bet the river too (except against a calling station) ?

I usually bet a little less on river, otherwise perfect.

I would check. Unless the villain fires whiffed FD's, it looks like his hand is some type of draw, or a TP that he is not folding.

Would strategy change much if it were not for the pair with the FD?
