Nuts on turn, no redraw -- jam or smooth call? (3/6 live)
I'm not an experienced Omaha/8 player, but was playing the 3/6 kill game at a local casino while waiting for a seat in another game when the following hand came up. At the table there is one strong player, a couple okay players, and a lot of terrible players.
Reads:
UTG+1 is playing his first hand at the table, so no real read (given his conversation with some of the other players, though, I get the impression he's an okay poker player who may be a new to Omaha).
Button is a solid, experienced player, capable of making plays in good spots.
I have a nitty table image because I'm a nit (well, because I don't put much money in without quality hands or quality draws -- so when I bet the turn it should be obvious to anbody at the table paying attention that I have the nuts).
BB is a calling station who overvalues weak hands and weak draws but has been running good.

(a) 3-bet, call Button's 4-bet and hope the river doesn't pair the board or complete the flush. If the river is safe, then check/raise the Button.
(b) smooth call, planning to check-raise a safe river card, fold to a bet on a scary river from BB / UTG+1.
(c) other (explain).
