Thanks for all the responses. I really never considered leading out the flop but can now see that may have been a better line.

In the actual hand I checked raised the flop and everyone folded :-(.

I think the C/R on the Flop after limping UTG screams wheel given my table image. If I would lead the flop the button may raise for a variety of reasons but needs a real hand to continue after I C/R.
