No reads. Just got to table and never played opp before.

A river bet would be a mistake. Why give your opponent an opportunity to either a) bluff you off the best hand, or b) win more of your money?

The amount of money you win by making bets on such boards is very likely dwarfed by the amount you stand to lose.

That's what I figured.

I've learned fairly quickly that one of the few principles in Hold'Em that's even more true in Omaha is that one ought not to value bet the river unless facing either an extremely weak player (which is reasonably common in PLO25) or a situation in which somebody with a hand weaker than yours could logically call your bet.
