77 hand

[BreakfastBurrito]

Party 3/6 6max game, no terrific reads. I open raise 77 UTG+1, folded to button who 3 bets, both blinds call and I call. Flop is 953r. Checked to me, what's my plan for the remainder of the hand?

My initial thought is to bet and get button to push out the blinds with a raise, but then what? Am I even starting in the right place?

I hate going for a c/r since it will bloat the pot and there is an outside shot that the button will check through, which would be horrible.

So I think you have to bet and if the button raises and the pot gets HU, I would just call down since he is unknown.

With no read this is tough. Either b/c or c/r. I think a check raise will give you control of the hand if you are ahead and if re-riased will tell you where you stand.

A continuation bet on this board is almost automatic.

I know, but I want to try to knock the other players out with the possibility of villan raising the flop with AK/AQ. The last thing I want to do is trap them and tie them into the pot with my underpair.
