PLO 10: Top set on straight board on the Turn

BN: $11.37 (Hero)
SB: $10
BB: $10.28
UTG: $10.09
HJ: $46.14
CO: $16.20
Preflop ($0.15) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A Q K A
UTG folds, HJ calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.50, SB folds, BB calls $0.40, HJ calls $0.40, CO calls $0.40
Flop ($2.05) Q 9 A (4 Players)
BB checks, HJ checks, CO checks, Hero bets $1.85, BB calls $1.85, HJ folds, CO folds
Turn ($5.75) Q 9 A J (2 Players)
BB bets $5.51

Villain had just sat, no reads.

On the Flop I think this bigger bet is standard on this wet, dynamic board.

On the Turn villain donks for full-pot and, with this SPR, we have no room to maneuver; we commit or fold. It looks to me that villain's actions are consistent with a turned straight that is maybe afraid of the two flush-draws. We have not much in the way of improvers – we even block a Q and villain might have a T in his hand.

This hand made me think on how would we play this spot when villain checks the Turn. Do we check back, and risk also giving a free card to draws, or do we bet? Is a bet always committing? Would anyone bet/fold? (I guess sizing would have to be small with this SPR).

Thank you for your insights.

If you get checked to then just bet-shove turn. You have to get value againts countless draws and worse 2pair hands.

Once you get donk-potted i would recommend to fold against unknown. Unless stated he's a very agressive player, give him a credit for nuts.
