Default Caught Lagging it up, but wait I flopped top pair!

I had been running this table over and forgot that the foot needs to come off the throttle now and then.

Preflop, I know, I know, lets get past that shall we? I'm really thinking I missed a flop checkraise.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Bunky is MP with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Bunky raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, Bunky calls.

Flop: (9.40 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Bunky checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, BB calls, Bunky calls.

Turn: (6.20 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Bunky bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, BB folds, Bunky calls.

River: (10.20 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Bunky checks, CO checks.

Final Pot: 10.20 BB

I don't think raising 67s from the hijack is a big deal, certainly not SOP but definitely a possibility if table image dictates.

I would checkraise the flop - but if I had waited for the turn to hope for greater pot equity when a safe / improving card hits then i'd c/r the turn instead.

If I get a c/r off I'm betting the turn/river here. As it stands, I think you'll snap off a couple bluffs on the river, but I would def bet for value against certain players.

I no likey. I c/r this flop. With your LAG image he could have been trying to isolate with a wider range of hands. Betting into him and hoping he raises does nothing for you. So I c/r.

I really dont like the turn stop n go. What were you hoping to accomplish?

I would bet (and hopefully 3bet) the flop.

if you are hopinng to be able to 3 bet this flop you are crazy. you arnt in good shape when this happens in 5/10, and the hand becomes kinda tough to play.

i c/r this flop for sure as a standard line

yeah, bet-3bet is overkill at the 5/10.

I'm still learning the 10/20. Good to know.

Yeah, I knew I screwed it up when i didnt do it. The turn stop and go was because I picked up the draw and I was still likely to have the best hand and if I get raised, I'm not out on a limb.

You of course are dead on, I was playing a lot of hands, and was raising them all, was only a matter of time before someone took a stand. I should have check raised this flop and I know it.

Was a perfect spot to do it as well.

Mow I thought I was aggro. I should have checkraised the flop but I sure dont want to three bet and possibly face a cap from an overpair if he has one. I have too many outs for that.
