c/r turn and you wouldn't be in this situation, people at these stakes love to pot their draws if you check to them. In one of the recent CR videos they talk about how draws/sets and how they related to position in PLO.

In holdem it's best to have a drawing hand in position and a made hand OOP, but in PLO it's reversed. You want to play sets and the like in position and your drawing hands OOP.

Bet/folding and check/folding are about equal depending on what type of player your opponent is. Check/calling is the worst.

1/2: bet/fold or check/fold

3 check/call

This should be pretty easy to figure out if you give it a little thought.

What would you do against these two opponents:

a) Passive call station
b) Laggy player

Your bet sizing managed to leave him with just about a psb left, which makes your decision that much more difficult. It also makes bet folding rather silly. I would say bet/call > check/call > check/fold.

Check fold. Nothing that you beat is betting that river. When he peels that flop he either has the rap, top pair, or two pair. all hands you beat are checking the river and probably not calling you. On a side note I think your continuation bet should be more. About 22. As long as you are consistent I guess it's not that big of a deal.

I'd value bet 1/3 of pot on river and fold to a raise

Strognly consider turn cr. Villain only has a psb left, but not a good card. I check and maybe call, but you shouldn't be in this spot.

c/r turn should be standard here, making a less than pot sized bet is about the worst move you can make
