Flop is check/call -- you're not folding anybody, and you have about break even equity. The rest looks fine.

I had two reasons for betting out: pot equity and hoping to slow the other two down, is this kind of thinking out of line?

The situation I wanted to avoid was me checking, CO betting and Button raising making me face two bets. I still have odds to call, but there's a risk CO will reraise behind me.

With my line at least Button slowed down (perhaps he would have anyway) and I got to close the action on the flop.
