Stars 50plo - gutshot+nutflush draw hits on paired board
 

Consider me completely green to PLO.

Calling from the CO with this hand is fine?

Did I play this draw wrong by reraising the flop? Should I have just called with good odds? I'm used to playing my draws aggressively from playing 6max NL.

Turn check I think is fine.

River check, do I bet here and fold to a raise? How much do I bet? Should I just check? When I think about it, I think a set would have got it in on the flop, but some people are chronic slowplayers.

By raising this flop you can easily represent a set-in fact that's what your opponents will assume what you have most of the time you pot/raise an uncoordinated flop. Therefore you should bet the turn as you would normally.

I agree with iron dragon. Based on turn action, you are probably up against ttp and str8 wrap (maybe with k suited). betting out half pot might be enough to take pot. Of course fold to reraise.

Not really a great hand, regardless of position, and even with that many limpers I'd probably fold.

Otherwise I play it the same way post-flop.

I like the flop raise and the absence of any reraises probably rules out top set and maybe even middle set. Most likely you're up against other wrap draws and/or two pair. Once the board pairs, I'd slow down. With several limpers at PLO50 you'll see all sorts of crap at showdown. No reason to bet a draw if the board pairs, even with position. You'll only get action from a made full house (hello check raise) or some random guy with 4xxx still drawing.

On the river, you've either won, and no one is calling, or someone is trying to get fancy for a check raise. No reason to bet. If you bet and get raised on the river, you'd have to fold. Generally the players aren't that tricky at PLO50.
