Don't checkraise this flop. Bet and hope that BB raises. Then 3-bet him.

Rest of the hand looks great.

Well, how could you have guessed? Really?

But I think you screwed up the flop. You should have bet an let him raise you so that you can 3-bet. Or bet the flop, let him raise you and then check raise the turn.

smallish point here, but you could've check-called the river. the other guys may've checked you down too, as everyone here had reason to be afraid of a straight...

Yea, bet flop hope to 3-bet.

Nah, you should bet the river. If the BB has an overpair, he'll call. The other player will have something like AT/KT/QT/JT or two smaller pair plenty of times and pay you off. Betting is much better than checking.
