I'm an experienced NL player but just started playing PLO (<5k hands played lifetime) so I'm very lost on the river here.

Villain seems to be a losing regular in these games, playing 37/25 over 200 hands or so.

I think pre/flop/turn are standard. On the river is where I am lost. I don't really see him doing this for value with a higher flush given that the board paired. I don't think he can have very many boats either - I think AAxx can be discounted because of preflop, and JJxx can be discounted as I would assume that c/r gets it in on the flop. Not sure if 66xx would play like this. So, that leaves 44, and possibly A4, which seems like a pretty narrow value range.

However, I'm finding it hard to come up with hands he can bluff with. I suppose some heart FDs that didn't c/r on the flop and picked up some showdown value on the turn can now bluff, especially with a Kc blocker. So stuff like AKQxhh, although I don't know if that is looking to get it in on the flop, and if those hands would c/shove on the turn.

Thoughts?
