This is my very first 2+2 post -- so thanks for bearing with me.

10 handed 20/40 @ the Borg on Thursday in the BB with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Middle position raises -- folded around to the button who calls -- I call. 3 way action.

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check, original raiser bets, button calls -- I raise. Get one caller and the button folds.

Turn is Q -- I check, original raiser is completely miffed -- checks as well. River is an ace, I bet out he calls.

I then get roundly criticized by a player that I luckily hit a 3 outer and did I ever think I was behind? I explain that of course I did -- I check-raised the flop to find out where I was for $40. When the turn was checked through I got a free card and lucked into an ace. My guess is the original raiser held an underpair to the Jacks. My intention in check-raising the flop was both exploratory and run off the button.

Any help on whether or not I played this correctly?
