Default Protecting your hand at .5/1

Hi - new poster here. Since the start of the year I've been playing .5/1, armed with PT and SSH. Not doing too bad - will post some stats when I've played enough for them to make any sense, but so far I'm on 3BB/100.

I've been waiting for an interesting hand to post - see what you think of this. I check-raised on the flop to try and face UTG+1 with a double-bet ... but that didn't discourage him!

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, CO calls, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (17 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO calls.

Turn: (12 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO calls.

River: (15 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO folds.

Final Pot: 17 BB

Should I have called the flop and gone for the check-raise on the turn? MP1 might have had another shot at it, and UTG+1 would have to pay two big bets for the privilage of outdrawing me (I couldn't believe what he had, by the way!)

Or am I thinking too much? Bet all the way?

Rob
