100 PLO middle set + bare ace, unraised pot OOP

Lead out the flop for half the pot. By doing this you will find yourself getting raised by 88 and KJ.
Hands like AQT will call, and you can bet them off later streets should a club hit because your flop bet will look like a drawing hand. Should a low blank hit on the turn, you can bet the pot. Check raising the flop feels horrible as it tells opponents the strength of your hand. Disguise it by betting out instead.

Agreed, but is there anything to making a small flop CR (not pot sized) which doesn't commit anyone so I can make a bigger bet on the turn when a favorable card falls?

Also, if I'm getting raised by KJ and 88 after leading, is it worth trying to distinguish these hands from KK on the flop? If I'm calling a raise on the flop after betting out, it seems like I'm going broke against KK. Should I just not worry about it since I'm +EV against the range of {KK,J8,K8,88,KJ,big draws}?

I see the benefits of leading though, thanks.
