HU PLO vs a likely poor player

Sorry no exact HH but I think this is a fairly simple spot that I would like to be sure of. Basically its HU w 80ish bb stacks vs someone who is likely pretty bad but we have no info on.

We open QQxx, he pots, we call.

FLOP KK4 2tone, he bets roughly half pot, we call.
TURN Qo, villain checks - is betting turn and jamming all rivers except A/K too thin here ? Or are there any reasons why we should be checking back ? And without knowing our opponents tendencies (and if you think bet turn jam riv is too thin), would you rather bet turn check riv or check turn bluffcatch riv or bet when chk to ?

Sorry for this being so vague and random, but I'm new to PLO and figured this should be a relatively straightforward answer shifting one way or another.

Thanks !

This spot depends somewhat on opponents stats, how often is he 3bing? If he's 3bing a bunch chking back and vbetting or raising some rivers may be better

bet turn bet river is pretty std, expect him to be c/f a bunch OTT, we get value from aa, some k*** and a couple other hands that might decide not to fold to a bet, would expect most players, esp weaker players, to be barreling k*** OTT unless they have a weak kicker. very hard for him to have us beat at this stage that chking turn and just calling river seems far too a weak option

Agreed with sam. I think just bet turn, bet river here. You're going to be balanced enough since the flop has a flush draw in it.

Di, say we bet half pot on the turn. and river is like a 9,T,J. If villian (suspected bad player) ck/calls us on the turn, and then lead jams a 9/T/J, can we fold the river? I feel this comes up often, and I am often shown K9xx, KTxx, KJxx

any thoughts?

Arent we a little worried about his 1/2 pot bet OTF and check turn? I think you should bet here but what if you bet and then he jams? I guess its player dependent and I would base my turn play off reads and histroy.

with 80bb, it seems a pretty easy spot to get all the money in by the river. If he has us coolered, at least it isn't >150-200bb. With 80bb, we are getting more than enough value from Kxxx and AAxx to just bet/bet and collect the chips
