Ok, I do not know how I played this hand. The CO seems to have a wide range, not only because of his position, but also because of 2.5x-ing, which I feel is more often weak than standard 3x even in late pos and designed to save half a bb in case you get reraised. So, preflop, I prefer a reraise over a flat call.
When he c-bets 2/3 pot, I feel I should not raise b/c he can often not continue and I want him to catch something (not sure if this reasoning is valid though)
Of course, if he has anything I want to build a pot. But it is always difficult oop.
I decide to check turn to let him continue. He checks behind. I guess lead out would have been interesting, too, but I actually like the check because of the possible flush he probably would call even less than otherwise with a marginal hand.
So I check river again, to give him another chance to stab at the pot which, luckily, he does. Unfortunately, I was playing too many tables at the time so I did not get the sizing right. I wanted to raise less but I almost timed out and so I just potted. Not saying he would have called 1 cent more, but I do not think it was the best sizing. On this particular river card, I thought he might call a smaller raise with an A or a 6.
