(2 players)Should I be leading the flop? I think my turn bet should be bigger, 2/3rds to full pot? River I should want to be getting it all in right?

I don't understand this hand on any street. Check preflop, lead full pot on the flop, bet full pot on the turn, bet full pot on the river.

I don't hate raising this preflop, but other than that I agree fully.
Why you would ever check this flop is beyond me.

check flop = give free chance for someone with 88, 99 etc to outdraw you and take all your money.
and ffs, pot that turn! You may get called by straights who won't put you on 54 because you raised?!? preflop, or smaller boats.

Generally slow-playing on paired boards is not such a good idea. If villain doesn't have anything, he's not that likely to make anything on the turn or river that he will pay you off with. Plus, if you slow-play when you have the goods, you may lose the opportunity to bluff in future hands.
You didn't give any river action, but in answer to your question, no you don't want to get all in here. If villain is willing to put a bet or a raise in, there is a good chance that you are beat. You definitely need to bet the river, but if raised, you should slow down.

Is preflop really that bad here? Im very raw at PLO, but in NL with full stacks and having position I often raise ATC in this spot. According to both PT and just my basic feeling on it I think this is profitable. I thought that in PLO where position seems to be even more important and since preflop hand values run closer together that it would be an even better play.

In NLHE your c-bet will succeed a lot more times than in PLO.

I'm potting that preflop 80% of the time. Then again, I am pretty aggro. But yeah, as played preflop, bet pot flop, pot (or near) on turn, and same on river.
