Re: Learning to play poker again. Part 1/3 overcards out of position.
The BB call is correct if you play the postflop well. You didn't. Checkraising here looks cool, but it doesn't do anything except spew bets. Your hand on this flop is a big underdog to a typical UTG range. You beat AJs and KQ, but what else? The turn bet will fold both of those hands you beat and rarely fold a better hand. The river check/call is just a donation to an unknown opponent.
If I'm going to play on (and I won't here - there is very little you can push him off on this flop), I will check/call the flop (occassionally bet/call against predictable players) and lead many turn cards. You really need to know your opponent to push him off overs.
In short, you should check/fold on the flop.
