Standard 2+2 raise PF, but also I'm setting it up for limper to call with a SPR of ~6, which according to PNL is an excellent target for a likely overpair. I get called by SB and BB and limper folds, all of which is unexpected, but I have SPRs of &lt;10 for each of them, so that still is probably fine.

The flop is paired, and I get a weak donk-bet from BB of 1/4 pot. Calling feels to weak, so I raise and if he RR I'm probably done with the hand. I raise to what I would c-bet anyway... I feel that it's enough to force BB to pull the trigger if he has the Q, and call with a hand I'm beating. I was shooting for "enough to get the job done and no more."

Turn puts a 3-flush on the board, I check behind since I think I'll have to fold to a CR (which a queen and flush could easily do here hoping that I keep up the aggression).

River is a blank, and I consider betting but I don't think I get called by too much that I'm beating (maybe TT or 99), but I decide that I'm just as happy to get to SD.

I feel it's important to play big pairs well, as both a tendency to stack off with them and also not extract enough are big hits to winrate. Should I have bet the river to try to extract more here? Does anyone hate my flop raise size? All thoughts are appreciated.
