A KO PLO $215 WCOOP tournament, slightly more than half the field busted, no ICM considerations. Blinds are 100/200. The Villain in this hand is loose and sticky (VPIP ~45, fold to cbet ~30). However, I'd rather discuss this from a general theory prospective rather than opponent specific. I am not a PLO specialist, so my reasoning may be way off.
Preflop ($300.00) (9 Players)
Hero was dealt J Q 8 9
UTG1 folds, UTG2 folds, BB folds, LJ calls $200, Hero raises to $600, CO calls $600, BN folds, SB folds, UTG folds, LJ folds
Flop ($1700.00) 3 2 J (2 Players)
Hero bets $1105, CO calls $1105
Decent and quite cbetable board for me. The opponent shouldn't have much of a raising range, provided I block the top set, lower sets are unlikley and he has position to work with for all his draws, overpairs and random backdoor/pair floats. I should be well ahead of his calling range and have many decent barrelling cards.

Against most opponents cbet with this sizing should be auto profitable due to a folding equity, right? I do not play PLO cash, and maybe people are more reluctant to fold here than I thought, so feel free to share your view.
Turn ($3910.00) 3 2 J 7 (2 Players)
Hero bets $3000, CO calls $3000
Not an ideal card but gives me three nut outs at least. I think I have to keep betting for value and protection. IMO he should be calling this with J, KK+ and flush draws+, maaybe some low wraps (is this a call without clubs?).
River ($9910.00) 3 2 J 7 Q (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $2800, Hero folds
5,930 effective stacks. I decided to check-chicken to such a small sizing because I really didn't see many hands the Villain may want to turn into a bluff. On the other hand, he should have clubs a ton. Is this a horrendous fold or I saved a couple of blinds?
Final Pot
CO wins $9910
