I like. Barring any read on my opponents I might give them credit for a set or two pair (JT). They could just be putting you on a missed flush draw.

Edit: Yeah, I didn't see that you only had one limper. Personally, I fold this preflop without 2 limpers, however I can see playing this preflop as part of a profitable game if you have loose people to follow you.

Fold preflop. With only 1 caller you will need a few more people in for 67s to have +EV.

Flop and turn are fine.

The river here is very tricky. I would only have just called the raise, even though I am 60% sure i had the best hand, and hope the button makes the overcall. Lets look at both cases, You have UTG beat, vs UTG has you beat.

1) He made the straight and believes it is the best hand.
If this is the case and you raise will probably blow the button off the hand (i know this didn't happen, but it is what should have happened) and then UTG will call giving you a net profit of 4BB on the river. By just calling, the button will probably call the check raise with the made straight, and they will both lose to your flush. Either way same profit. Lets looks at the more dangerous case now.

2) He was trapping with the nuts.
If this is the case and you 3 bet he is only going to cap and now you know you are beat but its going to be a tough laydown getting such good odds on your money. Now you are going to lose 4 BB.

So you are either going to invest 2BB to win 6BB by calling, or you are going to invest 4BB by raiseing only to finjd out you have been trapped and lose the pot.
Making a bad call with a good hand at the river is a small mistake, folding the best hand at the river is a disaster.
