River play with 3rd best FH

[pstripling]

This hand came up in a PLO H/L 25.00 game on PartyPoker. Let me start by saying that I am just beginning to play PLO H/L (I am normally a Limit Hold Em player, although I have had success at limit Omaha H/L as well) The following hand came up and I want to know what the best play on the river would have been. BB is unknown and CO is a decent player.

PLO H/L 25 PartyPoker
Hero MP2 (25.63)
CO (43.00)
BB (31.00)

Folded to Hero calls BB (A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) , Folded to CO who calls, everyone else folds BB checks

3 Players pot = .95
FLOP: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB bets .95, Hero raises 1.90, CO calls, BB calls

3 Players Pot = 6.65
TURN: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB Checks, Hero Checks, CO bets 2.00, BB calls, Hero Calls

3 Players Pot=12.65
RIVER: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB Checks, Hero bets???

Comments welcome on all streets. Having made the 3rd best full house I want to bet a reasonable amount, yet be able to get away from it if faced with a large raise and a call.

Pot it, and call all-in if it comes to that. If you had a deep stack it might be different. You'll be called (or even raised at this level) by lesser hands much more often than you'll get raised by better ones.

Definitely value bet, but I think betting small is probably better than potting it here.

I think that betting small represents weakness, I would pot it here as well. I probably laydown the 2nd FH to a pot, to a small bet I would make what I think would be a crying call.

Wouldn't it be time for a check/call here? I don't think a bet here has any positive value. The only hand that would call a bet that wouldn't make a bet itself is 77, or if somebody had JJ. Basicly you have a hand that you want to see a showdown with for as little as possible, and a check/call is the only way to do it.

As for poting it to try and drive out the A7, wait until you have NO hand to try and get people to fold, right now you could still make some money on the hand.
