Default Top set facing possible river scare card, how to play?

Hi, I just started learning Omaha and was wondering how I should play this. Apologize for no converter, couldn't find working one for Everest PLO.

EverestPoker Game #2427096388: Table Huveaune-5 - $0.50/$1 - Pot Limit Omaha - 02:16:29 - 2007/11/27
Seat 1: ziggyXXL ($250.67)
Seat 3: inte1Everest ($50.00)
Seat 4: shiro66 ($211.30)
Seat 5: daniela29 ($247.63)
Seat 6: SirKale ($99.00)
SirKale posts the small blind of $0.50
ziggyXXL posts the big blind of $1.00
The button is in seat #5
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to SirKale[3c Kh 6h Ks]
inte1Everest folds
shiro66 calls $1.00
daniela29 folds
SirKale raises to $4.00
ziggyXXL folds
shiro66 calls $3.00
*** FLOP *** [Qs 7c Kd]
SirKale bets $9.00
shiro66 calls $9.00
*** TURN *** [Qs 7c Kd] [3h]
SirKale bets $27.00
shiro66 calls $27.00
*** RIVER *** [Qs 7c Kd 3h] [9h]
SirKale ? ($59 behind, pot about $80)

In hindsight, I think I should just check preflop, correct? As far as this river goes, should I check/fold? Block? Shove? Thanks for the imput.

I prefer to block; pretty opponent dependent though.. Against a very LAG player, I probably c/c this, against a nit, block-bet is the way to go IMO... with no reads, I feel like you could make a case for any of these..

Isn't a block bet only good if there are some 2nd nut hands out there that will call a block bet but bet bigger if we check? Here we are only worried about JTxx which is obviously raising a block bet. If he's a calling station I like valuebetting here. If I'm betting $30 I'm probably not folding to a raise due to stacks being so swallow.

I think blocking this river is horrible given stack sizes. $59 behind and the pot is $80. I shove this river against most opponents and check fold against uber-nits. You're obviously going to loose to TJ some of the time, but I think you get looked up by a butchered 77xx, QQxx or other random 2pair hand enough to make it +EV. Heck I've seen calls with a naked AAxx in this spot on FTP .5/1. Everest is supposed to be really fishy, right?

I prefer just completing this pre, shove river.
