Stars $200 PLO

Let me preface this by saying that I am mainly a limit holdem player dabbling in PLO.

I have been at the table about 20 hands at most I would say. I don't have a "good" read on villian on this hand but there was some history. A few hands prior to this one I raised pre-flop, villian cold-called, I bet the pot on the flop, he called, I checked the turn and he bet the pot. That flop was very ragged though (K32 I think with a 2 on the turn).

Anyways, I wonder about my turn play here.

Standard

No point checking and letting him bet?

you could ch this to an aggressive player who will try and represent a lot of hands...you could also ch this trying to trap someone with a smaller flush

probably varying your play by betting and checking is best. you may also consider betting half the pot.

At this point, since you have no reads, your play is standard. If you knew the player to be really aggressive in this spot you could possibly check here, but you really dont want to give out free odds to a set.
