I am a beginner in PLO therefore I have a lot of trouble with "basic" spots. I think this is one of them.
My hand blocked some Flushes and I also block a lot of made hands that can call a Riverbet so that's why I either wanted to check/fold or check/call.
Alternatively I can imagine turning this hand into a bluff by checkraising could actually work against a tight opponent.
I went for the Check/call because I thought my hand was too strong to turn it into a bluff. However it seems I am always beat in these spots.
What's your line?

I think you have played it fine. You do have the nut A Club so your right they generally don't have the flush in this spot. Check call the river is fine just remember at these stakes when they bet into you they generally do have it think you have got unlucky here. I've been playing PLO5 on stars and sometimes I fall into the situation thinking they can have it but 99% of the time on the river if they bet they do have it. Just play tight agg at these stakes and bet bet bet your made hands and you will move up the stakes in no time. Cheers JP
I don't think you can go for a check raise on the turn unless you have solid proof that villain likes to float a lot of flops IP. I mean BvB he will likely be floating more purely because it is insanely profitable at the microstakes but if he is a passive player he likely only bets his made hands and therefore you give the river for free. Your play is good, x/r river is a possibility with the NF blocker as well as betting again, the issue is when the wrap comes in villain is never folding to a bet because thats the card they have called for therefore x/r comes in to play but this is risky. Just bet, bet will make villain make some equity mistakes and this will make you money in the long run. With 354x in his hand he is laid 2.27:1 and that hand has about 4.2:1 so the majority of the time he misses on the river and the equity mistake he makes there is your profit. WP
