Poker Stars, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 9 Players

Hero (BB): $155.10
UTG: $127.85
UTG+1: $188.10
UTG+2: $27
MP1: $97.50
MP2: $102
CO: $103.15
BTN: $96
SB: $37.90

Pre-Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
2 folds, UTG+2 calls $1, 2 folds, CO calls $1, BTN folds, SB calls $0.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $8</font>, UTG+2 folds, CO calls $7, SB folds

Flop: ($18) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO checks

Is checking horrible here? I figured it would look suspicious to villain and would allow me to represent an A later in the hand. An Ace is calling and a worse hand is folding. I figured if a Q or K comes on the turn then my turn auto bet would show more strength.

Turn: ($18) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $15</font>, CO calls $15

Villain's turn call sucks and now I am suspicious of him.

River: ($48) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $30</font>, Hero folds

I see no reason to call this.

Results: $48 Pot ($2.35 Rake)
CO mucked and WON $45.65 (+$22.65 NET)

I think betting the flop is a good way to come out. If he calls I'm pretty sure you can consider yourself beat.

Or on a flush draw. If I bet the flop and get called do I not have to bet the turn and obviously fold to a raise?

Edit for my standard [censored] grammar.

I like your flop check. Turn is good too.

But when you bet the turn then check the river. That looks weak, man. If you value bet the river, you'll put a tough decision to an opponent NOT holding an ace.

And an Ax will raise you, so you can fold easily.

But, yeah, you're right. That turn call is fishy.
