how would you play this?

PP $50 buyin POT limit.

I'm the small blind with KcKh, five limpers to me including button whose a LAG and seems to take a stab at any checked flop. I'm at about $130 and he's about the same. I pot it pre-flop, 3 callers including button. Flop comes T53, all clubs. I check, intending to checkraise the LAG who will most certainly bet if no one else does. He pots it, I reraise, and he goes all-in. I call. He takes it down with 33.

Is the checkraise questionable? Should I pot the flop instead? Or maybe not mess with that flop at all?

Thanks for your thoughts.

The problem with the line you took is that it commits you to the pot once you checkraise. Against just the LAG, I think it's a decent line, but with three others taking the flop, I'd just lead out with a pot sized bet and go from there.

I don't know how much it would've mattered this hand, however, as you are going to be hard pressed to release your hand when the LAG pots it.

Thanks Burno,
That was basically my thinking too -- any tack I take it'd be a difficult laydown. If I'd bet the flop, and LAG reraised, he could be on a number of hands, including a made flush, AcX, a set, a T, or anything else. Folding would be very difficult, although I could be (and was) a big underdog to a made set.
