When a reg bet so small on a flop like this I think it looks so weak.So I decided to checkraise. Good or bad?

I don't think there's anything bad about villain cbet, half pot is kind of normal really from a CO or BTN cbet after raise.

I think we are raising into the abyss since opponent can have a lot of anything here. Such as over cards + FDs, top pairs etc. You might expect bigger from a slightly wet texture but we can expect a few calls. Occasionally they fold but I would just x/f personally.

By raising 55 here they fold all worse hands and only call with better. So you was bluffing with the best hand, I'd rather call over raising for that reason.

I like check/raising. At this limits regs will choose the cbet size based on hand strength.
Fold is ok too if you don;t have to much info.
Check/call is the worse in my opinion, unless you plan to turn your hand into a bluff on turn or river.

I would fold the flop to the cbet unless I had lots of info like does villain cbet too often and if i call will he barrel bluffs, that sort of thing.
I'd fold to the cbet, the rest is just a bit unnecessarily fancy imo.

Bluff raising flops with small pairs works really well in position on wet boards but not OOP. In position you can fire the turn and gets folds plus thin value then check behind on the river and expect to be good when he has missed draws a decent amount. OOP is much more difficult.

Here calling is fine with your showdown value and backdoor draws.

I don;t think you have showdown value on a flop with the lowest card 6. Also if you check/call flop probably you will face another barrel on the turn and turn and rivers will be overcards for your 55
