Default stars 10$ 6max bubble hand

I mostly play ring but I'm pretty good at 6max so I took a stab. It's my understanding that aggression is good on the bubble.
Chip counts:
Hero (UTG) 15k
MP (trying to survive, folding away to money) 2200
CO (observant 30/15 TAG) 12k
Button (observant 25/15 TAG, has made several moves on me) 22k
SB (14/6 nit) 3k
BB (20/8 fish) 10k

My image is LAG. I've been raising trash in position and busting opponents by hitting hands hard (button raised J9s, checked behind flopped OESD and stacked 2 opponents when I turned the straight). This hand was precisely on the bubble, once we entered hand for hand.

Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG. (yeah, but it's 6max)
Hero raises to 1200.
2 folds
Button calls 1200.
2 folds.

Flop (3550): AxKxJ[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (rainbow flop)
Hero bets 2200, Button calls.
Turn (~8k): K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] putting 2 clubs on board.
Hero has 10500, Villain covers.
Is this a standard CRAI?

I don't play many 6max mtts but I don't think a crai has much FE. I don't think villan, if he's solid, will bet anything he's not willing to call with so a straight push on the turn looks best. I'd raise it more on the flop too so I leave myself with a psb if I'm called.

I think a second barrel works better.

Yeah. t1800 flop and you set up a three-barrel line rather nicely, and have a few more turn options.

Could play this heavy and t2600-t2800 flop and shove turn in the dark. Prolly OK against a random $11, but it lacks finesse.

CRAI is bad in this particular spot with that board texture.

If you fire a second barrel and the river comes a club, you can check to induce a bluff easily, and a lot of the time they will take the bait. Even better, they might have a worse flush, but that's a longshot.

I just want the chips in the middle and I'll take whatever line gets them there. We're folding nothing better whatever line we take nor getting calls from much worse and in these situations, I think it's best to opt for the play that gets all of the chips in the middle. We can obviously check-call/fold-to-large-bets-and-*reads* but I tend to think get 'em in we're massive.
