1-1 game
Effective stacks 110 for all players.
Hero has 88 in BB. Three players limp, hero raises 5 more, UTG and BTN call
Flop J86r
Hero checks, UTG bets 20 at ~20 pot, BTN calls, hero raises 60 more. They both pass.
Comments on hero’s line on both streets?

I would raise slightly more preflop. Flop is fine.

Yeah I'd raise more pre or check. Flop is fine but I'd just jam after the bet and call. If you make it 80 you have like ~25 back... just jam it in.
Alternatively you can just bet the flop yourself.

Check pre.
Lead flop for at least 70%

With 3 limpers I'll often check my option with 88 in the BB. If you're raising, I'd make it a bit bigger. Not really looking to go 4 ways in a bloated pot and OOP.
As played PF, I like leading the flop, about 60% psb. This board shouldn't connect with your range, which is why I think it's great to c-bet with a set once you've raised PF. CR is too strong looking of a line as the PFR, as it's pretty much telegraphing that you have a set or an OP. Looking at a reasonable range that would raise from the BB, I have a hard time coming up with a portion of it that would C/R a J86r flop that isn't sets/OPs, aside from a very rare button clicking bluff with AK/AQ.

Branch, yes my thoughts exactly, the c/r telegraphed OP/set so I feel I missed some value.
A good player suggested I bet flop say 60-70% PSB and if I get called then check most turns to trap
