Re: checkraise this?
Your opponents didn't have anything. It was going to be hard to extract anything from them. If they did, for instance, if the button had an overpair, then I like your bet, he would have raised, then you could smoothcall, and checkraise the turn, trapping any callers for an extra big bet.
You could have also checked, hoping that he would autobet, but then when you checkraise, you really serve notice that you have a big hand, and you will probably kill any action on later streets. When you bet, and he just calls, bet again on the next street (as you did), and hope that he is slowplaying his overpair and will raise you. He wasn't, but you probably won as much as you could here.
In what is likely to be a shorthanded pot, I probably wouldn't have limped with 65 suited. I would either muck this, or raise, and try and win the hand with a flop bet. At 1-2 online, I would have mucked, it might be too hard to move my opponents off of anything that resembled a hand.
