IMO...I think you could play this a couple ways based on the agression factor. You can put your opponent on a couple hands here based on the limp...bet..in MP. I say...AQ, KQ, weak Q...small pair set.....What you did definately isn't wrong...you'll find out quick where you stand...and may be able to dictate the betting on later streets. A good check raise...hides your drawing hand...and pressures weaker hands to fold....let us know how it played out

I lead out here instead with a half pot bet. This is small enough so he probably doesn't re-raise all-in, and if he elects to call, you get to see a cheap turn. Like I said in another post earlier today, you want to be the one pushing all-in, not calling an all-in. Of course, we can't predict his re-raising amount, but if you bet 70, a typical opponent re-raises to something between 200-250 and you will have a nice pot to pick up and gain FE at the same time.

Yeah, leading here is good, because your stack size is too awkward to three bet. Ideally, you want to make a cont. bet here that will be RRed and allow you to four bet AI. Second best situation is to lead, keep the pot small. If he calls, it kinduv sucks, so you'll have another decision to make on the turn. But, the pot will be small, which is fine.
