Check Raised on River w/ backdoor trips

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (6 Players) UTG: $92.95
MP: $97.10
CO: $471.09
BN: $235.51 (Hero)
SB: $111.45
BB: $100.00

Preflop ($1.50) Hero is BN with J 4 K T

3 folds, Hero raises to $2.00, SB folds, BB calls $1.00

Villain is playing 54/42/26 over 184 hands

Flop ($4.50) 9 8 5

BB checks, Hero bets $4.00, BB calls $4.00

What are the arguments for checking against betting this flop? Maybe checking behind because is he very aggro and doesn't like folding in general.

Turn ($12.50) 9 8 5 4

BB checks, Hero bets $11.00, BB calls $11.00

River ($34.50) 9 8 5 4 4

BB checks, Hero bets $28.00, BB raises to $83.00 and is all in, Hero folds

I'm confused by this bet and timed out...for my pot odds, do you think this is worth calling - that he will have enough bluffs in his range to compensate for the times he has 99 88 55 ?

It's hard to know which players are capable of check-jamming rivers light right <?>

Final Pot BB wins $87.50
Rake is $3.00

Please ask if any stats required, comments all streets appreciated

Hi. Not my limits at all in PLO, but do you really think that you can value 98xx or an overpair on the river ?

Hi Willy, thanks for your comment.
As I barrelled all streets then I think I can value bet AA looking to get value from hands like KKxx or QQTx...it's thin I know, maybe too thin and maybe does not align with his preflop aggression stats.
My thought process is that by barrelling 3 streets I rep a lot of missed TJQ hands and seeing as he hasn't raised any street there is not many combos of sets/straights in his range...however I'm unsure about this (hence why I posted). What would you think about a very small bet on the river like 5-10$?
The stakes is also euros not dollars (not sure how to change this on the site)
