PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7, 7.
UTG calls, MP raises, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

pretty good implied odds, everyone has to call the raiser.

Flop: (10 SB) 7, 6, 3 (5 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG calls, MP folds, CO calls.

well kinda sucks how coordinated the board was. but i figured i had just as many outs to make my full house as someone to make their straight.

Turn: (7 BB) 5 (4 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG raises, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, BB folds, UTG caps, CO calls, Hero calls.

would a check raise been better here instead of betting out? the reraise was a risky move, but at this point i know someone has a straight, or drawing to the flush, might as well maximize my winnings if i hit.

River: (20 BB) 3 (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls, CO calls.

YES! i know they won't fold, so i bet out hoping someone will raise so i can reraise.

Final Pot: 29 BB
Main Pot: 29 BB, between CO, Hero and UTG. > Pot won by Hero (29 BB).

Results in white below:
Hero has 7d 7h (full house, sevens full of threes).
UTG has 4c Ad (straight, seven high).
CO has Ac 9c (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins 29 BB.

mainly my question is whether it was a better option to bet out on the flop and turn, or to check raise both to try to kick people out?

With a flop that raggy, you must bet out.

Well played.
