6 max LHE:

I played this hand last night and was thinking quite a bit about the river play...Would CRing here be worth the attempt?

I wasn't at this table all that long however from what I saw in the limited amount of time was "camaroone1" was pretty aggressive post flop. I wasn't real sure about ironhawk because he was pretty new at the table but he did push the few hands I saw him play.

Anyway I called the flop bet because I was confident if either player behind me made some kind of hand the were going to get agggressive with it and raise then I can 3 bet or cap, I was figuring it would've been camaroone. Since he raised almost anytime someone bet into him prior to this (myself included on a hand).

The turn I figured I would still get at least reaised if I bet and I could 3 bet netting me a few more bets than CRing which they might just call....it actually worked out better than I planned.

River: Attempt a check raise or play it the same? Since I seemed to have some fairly aggressive players behind be I wasn't sure what the best play would be.

Why are you afraid of ? A check should set their antennae wriggling. You have the third nut hand and if you are losing to second nut (26) I'll lend you a bullet. These guys haven't believed you yet so continue to 'bluff'. What did the third guy have?
