This would've ended the thread pretty quickly. Passive Players who show aggression always have 'something' .. even in PLO. You just need to decide if they have your 'somethings' beat or blocked.
How are you drawing thin to SB if they have a flush draw? Aren't you ahead with 2 blockers and a nut gutter most of the time? You also state that SB is loose/passive and yet they opened PF and c-bet OOP. This is also a bad-ish spot when they can now act behind you. Player tendencies are very important in PLO, that's why I mentioned the small-ish c-bet. They very well could have KKxx of flush and you have them crushed.
One thing that I've noticed over the years is that 'we' lower stakes Players are way more worried about flush draws than the big-time Pros are, especially in NL. A big part of that is that lower stake Players are attracted to suited cards, but it's still 'hard' to make a flush!
You made a good 'mental health' fold and that's fine. It's actually pretty good that you recognized the trouble you may have been in. The one think about PLO is that opportunity comes along a lot more often than in NL, so going with your gut and being wrong doesn't stick with you as long since there's another hand very quickly. GL
