Butchered, or the best I could do?

Flop: You can't let him draw cheap.

Turn: Good play. His smooth call is troubling.

River: Every draw came in except yours. Why is villain playing this so passively? His minraise seems like a bet to induce a call or even a 3 bet.

Flop: What if I have to draw out? Or, do you mean lead out? I was going for the c/r of CO, if that explains my thought process of not leading out.
River: That was my thought. Did you like the $1 blocker, or would you have done something different? I figured any bigger of a bet is spew, since he's going to raise against either bet if he is at all, and he'll probably expect a call from me since the pot odds would be good, either way.

I generally raise the flop. As played I just check-fold the river, he's never bluffing and everything got there - I find that these are often thin valuebets with KQ or something.. I certainly don't checkraise the turn, not against someone even slightly more passive than normal.

Well, you should be careful check-raising here. Everyone might check behind you and then you screwed yourself. But a c/r will also allow you to get more of your stack in the middle when you're ahead.

I hardly ever c/r in PLO. It's not a trapping game.

Your $1 blocking bet didn't accomplish anything. Not big enough. And wrong spot too. I would just c/f here.

If I had position and villain checked this river to me, I would probably bet it and represent the flush.
