PLO - How can I take better lines on Nut changing river cards at low stakes PLO
before you read this is going to be sometimes .25 PLO or .20 PLO micro type stakes
lets say .. I know heading to river I have villain pretty much "out ranged" or have villain in a vacuum 75%+ equity heading to river , however when a nut changing river card comes where I feel it benefits villain and hurts me what i do is I bet 1/3 pot and if I get called its usually fair for me( i usually get botomish rane of hand to all me to pay me off when they do call).. but if i get raised (against bad players) I know im beat unless I have previous HH reads..but half playerpool imo don't bluff frequently in these spots imo at .25 PLO so when I see this x/r or just straight up raises after I bet I feel im usually up against it. this type of thinking and play has been imo good for me but I don't have many many hands/xp in like you guys have.
is this + or - ev at these stakes with the thinking I use?
there is usually 2 maybe 3 players with 35-43/48% vpip at these 6-9 max tables if that matters and half the time its HU with them at river
what are other things I can take note to get better thought process when I face these situations at the lower stakes on river?

In general if the river card is bad for your hand and your range you should check (and not bet a third pot). But if what you do works then it works.
If you're OOP and you bet, you remove most of their bluffs. Players might bluff river when checked to but rarely raise/bluff.
If you're IP, why wouldn't you just check with solid showdown?
