Default How\'s my line here?

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
4 folds[/i]</font>, CO calls, 1 fold[/i]</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero bets</font>, CO calls, SB folds.

With 12 outs on this board my hand some value. I thought CO would have raise pre-flop with any ace. I also thought there was a chance I might pick up the pot right away.


Turn: (2.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)</font>
Hero bets</font>, CO raises</font>, Hero calls.
I fired another barrel on the turn for pretty much the same reason as the flop bet. Should I have simply check called the turn?

River: (6.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 7.50 BB

Comments on all streets welcome.
Regards,
Carl

Flop - good, your equity is through the roof.
Turn - Standard, you have pelnty of outs, he might fold right now, if he calls/raises you still have plenty of outs, and can probably extract 2 bets on river
River- Standard

two things... first you are counting your outs slightly incorrectly as you can not give yourself full outs for the flush as it is small.... that is not all that big of a deal

but the major thing is in such a small pot it is not the best idea to bet call the turn as you are not getting odds to make this play... i dont mind bet/fold or check then take it form there..

This is just wrong. He definitely has the right pot odds to call a raise on the turn. His lead on the turn is an attempt to win the pot right there. Villian doesn't know Hero is on a flush draw. Folding to that turn raise is -EV. In fact, I think if villian just called on the turn, I'd bet that river too.

I play this hand the exact same way as he did.

After hero is faced with a raise on the turn, there are 5.5 BBs in the pot and hero has to call for one more BB. (5.5 -1 odds.

Hero has 12 outs, 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s, and 3 5s (don't double count the 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]). The odds of hitting one of these outs is 2.83-1. Folding to the turn raise is a really big mistake.
