Good $10/$20 Party table.
UTG, UTG+1 (13/9/1.5), MP1, MP2 and CO (22/5/1) all limp, folded to me in the small blind and I complete with  , BB raises (LAG - 60/33/3), everybody calls.
7 to the flop for 14 small bets.
Flop:   
I check, BB bets and everybody but MP2 calls.
6 to the turn for 13 big bets.
Turn:
I bet out, BB and UTG fold, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds and CO calls.
3 to the river for 16 big bets.
River
I check, UTG+1 bets and we both call.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did I do here?
I decided to check the flop to see how the action developed, if I saw a bet and a raise I could drop it with ease. After so many people called BB's bet the best plan seemed to be to call and bet out on a safe turn card.
The two players left on the river were both pretty tight so I didn't think a value bet was appropriate.

I would check/raise the turn and fold to a 3-bet. You'll scare the shit out of better hands and might even get some tightie to let go of a better King.

Since CO calls MP1's bet on the river, I don't think you have the best hand. How does the 3s change the hand for you to bet out on the turn?

No way he folds on any street.

Ok, I can see that now. But if we aren't folding to a river bet, why aren't we betting out on the river?

The two players left on the river were tight so I couldn't see them calling a bet with anything worse.
I was hoping they might check behind a better hand or bet a worse one they would have folded had I bet.
Bad?

I like this line, I never considered a check/raise at the time.
What do you think of my flop play?

Pretty standard. You can't protect your hand by leading out and if there is a bunch of action behind your check it makes for an easy laydown.
