ROFL at people saying "fold preflop" because you're $10 short. If this were live you definitely wouldn't fold this because you had blinded to 90% of the max buyin. It would be one thing if you were half-stacked but seriously people.

Check behind on the turn.

Um, against a seemingly "good player" (as OP said), I need more than 100BB to be calling with these kind of hands. Against a donkey, sure, I'll call every once in awhile.

You seriously don't call in position with this hand unless you're deeper than 100BB? I'm playing this hand nearly every time, usually just calling but sometimes 3-betting. From the blinds with just one raiser I'd normally fold (sometimes 3-bet a steal raise), but not playing this hand when you're in position because you're $10 short is silly.

I am more worried about UTG+1's call than CO's flop bet, which could just be a standard CB. I think this was your thinking as well. I like the idea of checking (free card with a draw=why not?) that others have floated. But CO may have given up when you both called his CB, and so far UTG+1 has been passive. So how about a blocking bet type bet? Any takers for a "blocking" bet of, say, 35-40%?

A "blocking bet" has the intention of keeping the street cheap in order to see the next card without paying alot.

Since you are IP, you don't need to bet at all if you want to see the next card. Just check.

yeah, went back and edited to blocking bet type to show understanding of the positions. sorry. the idea is to put pressure on, smoke out a check raise cheap, maybe win the hand right there in the face of all this passivity and still be getting close the right price to draw.
