By checkraising the flop, do you want to get it heads up with you and CO's overcards? I admit I never do this, so if I'm wrong please tell me why.

Ideally, yes. Why wouldn't you want to be heads up with the CO's overcards?

I admit the flop check-raise kind of blew up in my face, but I figured the pot was big enough at the time to go for it. I (obviously) didn't expect everybody to call.

I'm thinking that this play is weakened because of the flush draw, and would be much better with a rainbow flop. I'm still not convinced it's the wrong play, however, and that's a big reason why I wanted some feedback.
