Yikes, I was clueless during the hand and fear I butchered it.

CO was very loose and a complete donkey... he would go to showdown with mid two pair and complain when it didn't hold up to a rivered flush, etc.

Flop - wanted to keep the pot small oop with a weak hand, second nut high and very weak low. When it checked to CO and he bet, it didn't mean ****, but I didn't want to CR and make a big pot oop in case the nut straight was also waiting to cr. Plus, with a weak low, I didn't want to get it heads-up and potentially be getting freerolled. So I called, and no one raised.

Turn - since no one raised and since the turn didn't change my high hand much, plus since it introduced a flush draw, I didn't want it to get checked around. I also didn't want it to get checked to CO who could bet again, either, so I chose to bet out and try to sandwich people in the middle. What do you do if CO raises this here? Or if someone else raises? etc.

River - same logic as turn, I don't think anything changes except A3/23 is now counterfeit and my low has improved. So I think the river is trivial given the turn action. Am I way off?

Thanks,
Aseem

P.S. Be brutally honest, tear me a new one if I f'ed up hard.

not sure. I checked to see the action behind me... if there was a bet and a raise, or a pot size bet on my left and it folded to me, I fold. The fact that it checks to CO who is a very weak player and he bets makes me very much want to play.
