Really aggro dynamic in this match! Villain folded to 3bets a bit too much so I have been 3 betting a LOT. Dnt really like 3b"n this hand, but curious about other streets.

I don"t mind the raise esp if the V has been a little passive but your hand is pretty awful for PLO and it didn"t really improve that much on the flop. Oh, you have a flush draw but you have no idea whether it"s good.
I think the flop bet is OK but OOP I"m probably going to be check-calling after he calls on a very wet flop.
The turn is even worse...I prefer to call a pot bet than make one...same difference.
River...well, you got what you wanted...you have the 3rd nuts which is usually not good in PLO but HU might be good enough...I dunno.
V has about a pot bet left (if I can add)...I put out a 1/2 pot bet which could be either a value bet or a blocker.
As played, bet and call a re-raise...and hope!

I have all kinds of blockers hence the aggro line on flop and turn. Its hard for villain to have the nuts before the river. Id actually far rather barrell a blank river.
Part of me thinks blocker-bet/call might actually be reasonable but I cnt decide...
Edit: As far as the hand goes - obv I wouldnt play it f/r or 6max, but HU betting-lead/blockers, etc are more important than actual hand strength.

You have a couple of blockers rather than "all kinds" because you don"t know what hearts he has but I see what you are saying.
You"re OOP and he doesn"t have to have the nuts before the river..he just has to have a hand that"s better than TT...and he could easily have this...he could have a straight or set here and is waiting for you to hang yourself on a blank river.
Or he could have been playing a combo-draw with straight and flush possibilities..in fact, they we he"s played would tend to confirm this...assuming he"s not a complete donkey.
Like I said, I don"t play HU PLO and perhaps aggro is the way to go but my tendency...especially on this board would to be check call rather than raise.
Different styles I guess and very read dependent.

c/f>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>c/c on this board. He def folds sets and baby straights on this river as played. Blank rivers differ slightly for his calling range, but pretty sure he folds 35xx and calls w/ any better.
