Default 1/2 PLO River w/ Top Set: Check behind?

Check Behind is my standard move in this spot but I've been experimenting with making teaser bets to induce bluffs from aggro players. I checked behind here but I thought of making a littke 30-40 bet not for necessarily for value (as I think a busted broadway straight and/or flush draw is the most likely hand for my opponent, I'm discounting the runner-runner 6-high or wheel catch, if he c/r me with that so be it).

I was typing the hand and ran out of time so here:

The Hand

Next manually sorry.

I think you should make a small bet here, maybe $25, which would get called by JJ.

Yeah, good point that there may be value in betting the river. I probably should have included that I know the villain, he is a LAG and 5-handed I would have heard from middle-set earlier in the hand.

If you're discounting those two hands, is there any reason not to bet the river?

I'm discounting them in the sense that they are highly unlikely given runner-runner. But still, I'd check behind because a reasonasble player is not going to call without the long-shot straight and will fold everything else.

Unless you are playing very laggy yourself, I cannot imagine anyone would call you with a hand you can beat.

On a separate note, how much tougher is the competition on the $200 6 max compared with the $50?

Yeah these type situations always seemed very basic TOP "Betting Heads up On The End" type situations where there is no +EV in betting. But as I transition back to playing mostly big-bet poker I often wonder in these spots if people are betting these rivers anyways to induce the 1 in 100 over the top bluff.

The 200 6max, like all PLO tables in general is hit and miss but generally good though I tend to find juicer tables at the 400s from time to time. The play is not that much better then the 50s just more aggression. A lot of short-buys can turn them into an all-in fest though and the tables often break quickly and the table texture can change rapidly.
