Villain is unknown. Could be anything from a maniac to a calling station.

$0.05 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 5 players

BTN: 134.2 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 2)
Hero (SB): 100.4 BB
BB: 51.8 BB
UTG: 156.6 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 50.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 2)
CO: 75 BB

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB, CO posts penalty blind 1.4 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.8 BB) Hero has 4♠ K♣ A♣ A♠

UTG raises to 2 BB, CO calls 1 BB, fold, Hero raises to 9 BB, fold, UTG calls 7 BB, fold

Flop: (21.4 BB, 2 players) 2♣ 6♦ 9♠
Hero checks, UTG checks
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

should I cbet 1/2 pot here?
It doesn t feel like I have tons of fold equity on this board. On the other hand, I m giving villain a free card :f_confused:
If I bet and villain raises me, I guess I d be forced to fold. If he calls me, I m still unsure about his holdings...

Turn: (21.4 BB, 2 players) Q♣
Hero checks, UTG bets 20.4 BB, Hero calls 20.4 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

In holdem If I had cbetted that flop, with the extra equity OTT, I d certainly cbet here as well.
But in PLO, I m never sure of anything (and I didn t cbet the flop).
Is check/call the correct play here? Am I check/folding to any river that is not an A or a club?

River: (62.2 BB, 2 players) 4♥
Hero checks, UTG checks

Spoiler

Hero wins 59.2 BB

Well flop is close to SPR 4 in HU pot so we could just pot and go broke flop. If villain call we can pot again on blank cards. Probably some J+, spade, 3, 4 or pairing card would be fine for turn pot.

It's quite hard to hit two pair, set or wrap on this board.

As ghaeleon said, I would just pot it and get it in.
Be aggressive.

Plugged the hand into pokerjuice and when we give him $FI30 as a preflop range and exclude aces he will have Two Pair or Set only 7.79% of times.
You are basically printing money when betting - or at least forcing him to do some big mistakes by callin weaker hands.
