5NL Z: Did I overplay this draw?

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $11.68
SB: $10.59
BB: $5.00
UTG: $6.06 (Hero)
MP: $5.51
CO: $7.44
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is UTG with K Q
Hero raises to $0.15, MP folds, CO calls $0.15, 2 folds, BB calls $0.10
Flop ($0.47) J 3 4
BB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $0.30, BB folds, Hero raises to $0.92, CO raises to $2.20, Hero raises to $5.91 and is all in, CO calls $3.71
Final Pot UTG lost and shows a pair of Queens.
CO wins and shows three of a kind, Jacks.
CO wins $11.78
Rake is $0.51

No stats.

I x'd this flop with intention of XRing, and 2 barreling if it x's behind flop. Should I be 4b or calling vs the 3b here? After the hand, i Realized I probably strengthen V's range by 4b here to sets/weird overpairs and don't have any FE after he 3b. Is my line of thinking okay here or should I just CB this flop 100%?

thanks

check/raise get it in seems like a bad line because you're flipping at best against any hand heads up.

If you had the Nutflushdraw it would be a little different because then there would be weaker flushdraws that could go broke but with the KQ flushdraw u're also blocking the Q high flushdraw making it less likely someone is broking with a weaker flushdraw.

U are really just hoping to get it in 3 ways without being dominated- I think that is just unlikely especially given that if both have a set and you bet and they raise it's going in anyway.

There is a reason for check/calling this combo for balancing purposes tho imo.

X/raise is fine, you can even call his 3bet with decent pot odds, however most ppl only 3bet sets here and some QQ++ hands, some combodraws as well. so you have 0 fold EQuity to shove.

No, the most EV play is starting by betting the flop, then either go with it or call, which for me both are good, one's just easier then the other, but i dont mind playing a turn with a good draw + overcards, then probably calling it off with a pair + draw or a combo draw if the T come.

Why did you check as the PFR?
