check-raised hand for review
Party Poker 50/100 10 + 1 Limit SNG (8 handed)
Hero has 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and is SB
EP1 limps, MP2 limps, Button limps, Hero limps, BB checks
Flop(5 SB): 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I almost never check-raise, but decided to go for it this time. I guess I'm paranoid of suck-outs, so my reason was to try to limit the field rather than build the pot. MP2 and the button have both shown a tendancy to steal the pot from late position, so I figured one of them would bet and my raise would get rid of anybody in between.

MP2 bet and re-raised a Q55 board with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and rivered the flush.
Was check-raising a mistake on the flop? I was first to act and I didn't think one bet would chase any flush players away.
