Lead is better than a check/raise on the flop.
Turn is fine I think, but I don't play fullring.

Please explain why lead is better. I'm not being antagonistic BTW, I greatly appreciate sincere input from anyone I can get it from.

I considered leading, but my gut said "Go for the check raise," and I usually listen to Mr. Gut. Letting too many danger cards if everyone else checks? Or because I have a wild image? I figured I would get more value with a c/raise, cause it looks moreso like a steal from a wild donk IMO. I haven't really led at limp pots; I've been raising PF and then c-betting w/ anything, and everyone's been folding.

Because you have the best hand in a limped pot on a drawy board and you can't assume that either of the other two villains in the hand will bet. So lead the flop so you can build a pot and get value from your hand while also protecting it.
