Default 100NL Good spot to checkraise NFD?

Villain's all seem normal. My image my be tilty, I am not on tilt, but have lost two bad hands to UTG in the the last rotation. First a flopped flush to his nut flush on a steal, and then on a QQJ flop allin for his 60bb with AQ to his JJ. This is 2 hands after the JJ hand, so they may think I'm steaming.
Lead would be optimal if I can get it all in with a B3B, but leaves me in a not so pretty spot OOP on the turn if I am smoothcalled. A checkraise seems sexy as my image will probably get me some calls from one pair hands from players that would normally fold to a checkraise unless they had >2pair. Thoughts? Just keep it simple and lead?

Id probably open push. If i get called thats poker, you have like probably 20-25 outs so if you get called you gain about 3-8 skalansky dollars.

??? 20 to 25 outs? pushing for 95 into a 21 pot? i think thats a terrible way to play the hand.

theres 2 things to consider when deciding to check raise draws

a. do i have a LOT of fold equity
b. will the check raise leave me all in.

if both are true a check raise is fine, if 1 is true a checkraise becomes very player and hand dependent. if neither are true its almost never a good idea to checkraise because if the turn bricks your now either check calling with much the worst of it or putting ur stack in as a dog after ivnesting so much.

id bet here because if u get raised u can get it all in without it being such a ridiculous overbet that only hands your draw isnt ahead of call with. u will get called by much weaker hands with a bet/3bet line than with a checkraise all in line.

if u dont get raised uve spent much less if the turn bricks

If you check raise here, it should for your stack, and I don't think that is a bad play at all. The open push advice is simply awful. That might be an ok line to take in a donkament, but not here.

Open push is standard.
