QJo, top pair, wait for turn to raise?

[belloc]

I'm playing in a pretty decent 8/16 game at Casino Arizona while visiting family here in Phoenix; it's my first time here at this casino. A few players seemed at first to know their way around, and the table (which started as a new table) started pretty tight, but after a while it becomes clear that it's just a typical SSH game.

Reads: SB is TAP, BB is sLAGgish (loves to bet out when first to act, even when it's into a raiser), MP1 is LPP, MP2 is LPP.

I have QJo in the CO at a 7-handed table while a few players are sitting out. There are two limpers to me, I call, button folds, SB completes, BB checks. Five to the flop for one bet each, 5 SB.

Flop: Q 8 5 rainbow

BB bets, both MP players call, I call, SB folds. Four to the turn, 4.5 BB.

Turn: 3

BB bets, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, I raise, both call. Pot is 10.5 BB.

River: A

Checked to me.


Was this an appropriate time to control the pot size by waiting for the turn, or did I miss value by not raising the flop? What do I do now that the overcard river is checked to me?
