Check raising a drawy board on the flop Check raising a drawy board on the flop

    , $0.02/$0.05 Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 3 Players

    BB: $12.40 (248 bb)
    BTN: $9.91 (198.2 bb)
    Hero (SB): $5 (100 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K Q 6 Q
    BTN raises to $0.17, Hero calls $0.15, BB calls $0.12

    Flop: ($0.51) Q 4 3 (3 players)
    BTN bets $0.51, Hero raises to $2.04, BB folds, BTN raises to $6.63, Hero calls $2.79 and is all-in

    Turn: ($10.17) 6 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
    River: ($10.17) 9 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

    I felt like check raising was the best option because they get a piece of the board enough of the time to bet and let me put a raise to pump up the pot.

    I got it in good but is this the optimal play?

    Spoiler:
    Results: $10.17 pot ($0.50 rake)
    Final Board: Q 4 3 6 9
    BB mucked and lost (-$0.17 net)
    BTN showed and won $9.67 ($4.67 net)
    Hero showed K Q 6 Q and lost (-$5 net)

    i would just lead the flop since the guy with the initiative is last to act

    The problem with leading is that BB has to over fold quite a lot in this position because of the stack sizes at the table for the other two players. It puts him in a very tough spot. I would personally go for a check-raise here as there is a lot that can call it off on this draw heavy of a board but I don't think a lead is necessarily bad, I just don't like leading in spots like this where the turn is going to be a big change in the board. If you were 200bb deep as well I would check call flop and check raise turn.
