It has been years since I've posted a hand and this hand has caused a lot of debate amongst my poker confidences.

Hero???
Assuming we continue what's the plan for the rest of the hand? Is this a spot we should look to protect our stack or if the option presents is not getting it in a mistake?
Information to the hand
1. villain mostly has a premium hand when he 3-bets pre. AKQJ, AAxx, KKxx, J1098, he's fairly new to Omaha but has had a lot of success in love nlh.
2. villain likes to bluff in position and is not afraid to fire big on turn and river, but also does that with made hands. Completely polarising his holdings.
3. Most of the time I can dismiss the BB in the hand as he would have reraised pre or just shoved the flop if he had anything good. He's pretty stuck in the game.
4. Post flop villain will generally bet close to pot with strong hands and strong combo draws. Smaller bets generally mean anything else. He does like to chase and float, even one pair hands.
5. I have a history of check raising villain on later streets, and goes back to point 2.
6. Villain only runs it once
