Quirky (probably stupid) line

[Catt]

PFR is like 40/10 and Button is a buddy lister 55/2. I haven't been at the table long, but based on three or four orbits my reads on PFR were: passive post-flop -- happy to bet but shuts down when faced with aggression from others; and on Button were: loves to raise to shut out players behind, even with weak hands, which comprises most of his aggression, gets a bit more cautious without 2-pair or better on the big streets; capable of raising and taking a free card to see the river. To repeat though, these reads are over a short time at the table.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Should I just jam this flop? Lead and hover over the raise button? C/R and go ahead and Ck-3bet when its raised in front of me? I elected to CC in the hopes of going multiple bets on a big street and worried about striking fear into the other two. But this is such an action flop that perhaps this was silly.

I bet intending to 3-bet and also because I was unwilling to let this get checked through; if PFR had three bet the flop I would have check-raised instead, but, based on my small-sample read, felt the chances were very high that he checks to Button. Obviously didn't work. I have no idea if these guys are savvy enough to realize that my coldcall on the flop and turn lead on this board is cause for tremendous concern.

Hero checks . . .

Dammit, I am going to get my multiple bets on a big street no matter what. I figure there's no way this gets checked through and hope that PFR decides to bet and Button calls. They have to pin me as an idiot at this point, and maybe I am in this hand.

I am concerned mostly about the flop play (I'm generally more of a flop pounder), and to a lesser degree the turn play, but looking at the three post-flop streets in sequence it looks very freaking weird.
