$25 PL Omaha Hi/Lo (5 handed)

Hero ($48.45)
BB ($20.11)
UTG+1 ($25)
LP2 ($25)
OTB ($24.15)

Hero posts small blind [$0.10].
BB posts big blind [$0.25].
UTG+1 posts big blind [$0.25].

Preflop: Hero is in BB with
(1 check), (1 folds), OTB calls [$0.25], Hero calls [$0.15], (1 check)

Mediocre hand but worth a complete? 5 way both of my flush draws are probibly live.

Flop: ($1) (6 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, OTB checks

I checked because a naked J has got to bet there. No bet probibly == no J

Turn: ($1) (6 players)
I bet pot, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, OTB re-pots.

Now I am a little suspicious. Why would a made boat re-pot there? He has position why not call and see if I will bet into him again on the river. Yet again this is the party $25 tables (which short handed are worse then normal) so my opponent may not be think much beyond "grunt I made a boat grunt".

This really feels like a naked J to me but am I willing to put my stack forward to find out? The problem is that if I am right I fairly large favorite but if I am wrong I am drawing dead.

This is the 3rd hand that this player has played so I have no read on him.

I don't play much short handed although I think I am going to start playing more so criticism on all streets are welcome and thoughts on what to do on the turn will be appreciated.

First, let me make it very clear that I have no clue about shorthanded PLO8, so this is certainly nothing more than conjecture.

First, I wouldn't even complete the SB here. Change the Q or K into an A, then I love this hand.

Flop... sure, tread lightly.

Turn... I fold to this reraise without a solid read that this guy is a donk. If this guy is jamming a pot-sized raise with only trips on this board, you'll probably end up with all of his money sooner or later anyway.

On the flop you rule out a J because you "know" that anyone with a J must bet. Then on the turn you change this into "feels like a naked J". This is not consistent.

As for playing trips, I set myself the rule (for PLO, but it applies to this hand as well since there is no low) that I wouldn't play them for a large amount unless I have very strong evidence that my opponent would play weaker hands on such a board for a large amount. You don't have that evidence here.

I'd rather fold the best hand here than lose a bundle to a flopped full house.
