Checkraise flop or turn?

I have been at the table for about 12 hands. There hasn't been that much preflop raising so far but I don't think you can read anything from that. 4 to the flop is normal it seems...

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG raises, 3 folds, Hero 3-bets, CO calls, Button calls, SB caps, 1 fold, UTG calls, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls.

Flop: (21 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, CO checks, Button bets, SB calls, UTG calls, Hero raises, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (15.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, UTG calls.

River: (19.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, CO folds, Button folds, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 21.50 BB

I assume the river bet is standard... I am sure I would call the raise, though I wouldn't like it.

Thanks,

PSW

Not betting this flop makes me wanna blow chunks.

could you please explain why betting here is better than checking to the capper with the intent of raising?

Perhaps I should have bet into him hoping to get raised, and then checkraised the turn? Hmmm... that does sound good to me.

Yes. In my experience, I have found that it is giganticaly better to lead at the flop rather than check-raising.

If you get raised on the flop, re-raise and just keep leading. Same on the turn & river.

Uh, the capper already checked.

Damn, I got lucky someone bet. I guess I was too tired to be in the hand... I agree with cold cash...

The capper already checked. Bet, 3-bet a raise or depending on who calls, call the raise and pop the turn. A flop CR will only slow everyone down.
