No reads, I reraised flop to protect my hand and knock out any draws, I probably am behind to the flop check raiser.

Is this hand standard?

I don't like 3betting the flop here. If he's check-raising a draw, your not really protecting your hand. If you're behind, then you are the one drawing and putting in a 3rd bet is bad. I'd call his flop c/r and raise the turn if the others are still in if BB bets. If the others fold, and BB leads then I call the turn (unless I improve like you did).

At first I didn't like the flop raise, but if you can get some hands like aj, aq, jt, qt to fold, then I think its definitely worth it.

I dont like the flop reraise when you cant be pretty sure that both will fold. You got no reads so that didnt seem to be the case.
You are putting in more money with the worse hand and open yourself to a cap.
It turned out perfectly, they folded and you improved on the river. I think the raise is -EV though in the long run.
