Frequent situation river play: crying call or gangsta fold?

[Aggromang]

CO is LAGgy over few hands, but i have no particular read on his range or his tendency to bluff.

Can he bet here with a worse hand or bluff?? and is the pot too big for me to fold?

*Is this a close enough decision (call or fold)??*

I would have raised the flop here. You're hand is very vulnerable, and I want to fold out the CO and SB if at all possible. Plus, any cold-calls will let you know where the flush draw is. If anyone cold-calls flop, and goes nuts on the turn, then you can safely fold.

I'd call. 11.5:1, and CO could have a smaller pair in his hand or be taking a shot at BB (who seems to be on a whiffed AK/AQ) and you (who has shown no interest in the pot postflop).

Raise the flop and the hand plays much easier as you will then typically bet/fold turn and bet/fold river.

I think you have to raise the flop/turn to define/protect your hand. As played, fold river

I like a raise on the flop. As you played it, I don't see how you can do anything but a crying call on the river. If the BB was still in the hand, you would be able to fold. I expect you to lose the hand.
