Did I play this PLO hand like a muppet?
PLO - 10/20p - early position i raise to 70p with AcTc9c8h and get reraised to £1.70 by button. I call £1 and flop is Qc7h6c - looks like a perfect flop top me. I check and button bets £2. I check raise to £8 and button calls. I think my winning % is about 70% on this flop (it's actually 69%) so willing to put in all money. Turn is Qd which is great for me. Even if button has Q I can still catch up on the river and if he hasn't he has to fold. I move all in for £14 and get called by KsQsTd5d. So my check raise on the flop was called by top pair with no draw.
Should i have checked the turn and then re-assesed?

I like your play on the flop as your hand is strong there with the nut flush draw and straight draw but the moment that Q comes down on the turn your draws have seriously gone down in value and therefore you need to slow down accordingly.
Thanks all for the replies. I must admit that him housing up on the turn never crossed my mind when Iplayed this hand and tried to put him on a holding. What hand could he have to flat call the check raise? With QQ he's pushing all-in after my check raise. With 77 or 66 is he not doing the same since the turn could bring a real scare card for him and he's either racing when I have exactly my perfect draw or he's ahead 2/1 to any flush or straight draw? He's only behind if I have a higher set. Alternatively, what sort of two pair hand could he have for the re-raise pre-flop? Q-7, Q-6, 7-6? Surely not? And again is he not either folding or pushing the check raise with these hands?
I honestly thought he was on a draw when he called the check raise and it looks as if I have the better draw. Even if he does have a Q, he can't have housed up (imo) and I'm still 30% after the turn.
I'm new to PLO so I'm keen to learn from those more experienced.
