AQ first hand in MP with limpers, check my line ($11 speed)

First hand. Is it OK to raise here to try to buy position? After two checks, a c-bet is in order, right?

yeah i think the raise is OK... although i like to adjust for limpers and make it one more bb/limper so i think i would have gone 4x here.

the c-bet is fine i think too... although i could live with just checking it since you have position and a lot of the donk hands that UTG+2 will play connect with that (AJ KJ specifically)

I check here most of the time without a read. against 2 with a jack,9 on board isnt the safest of boards to miss.
