Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ 9♣ K♥ 8♦

fold, fold, CO calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 4.5 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 3.5 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

I think this hand is a clear raise. I wonder what would be a minimum here... Should I raise even rainbow kings?
Saw some players limp/calling with trash AA, but I guess they could have anything here.

Flop: (10.5 BB, 2 players) A♥ K♦ 8♥
CO checks, Hero bets 10 BB, CO calls 10 BB
Thoughts and questions

Spoiler

Should my plan to play for stacks here? I probably have the nuts (guess AA would have raise pre at least), but no backup draw or anything like that.
After cbetting pot, not sure about villain's range...
An weak A + fd maybe? I block the K-high flush and AK combos...

Turn: (30.5 BB, 2 players) 4♠
CO checks, Hero checks
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Mostly a blank. I m always wondering if I should cbet and make villain fold or check behind and let villain bluff OTR.
I don t like much check behind on PLO because I fell like I could be easily outdrawn OTR...

River: (30.5 BB, 2 players) 6♦
CO bets 11 BB, Hero calls 11 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Raise? The 6 completes some str8 draws, but I hadn t put villain in any OTF.
On the other hand, it is hard to think in any worst hand that would call a raise

Spoiler

CO shows J♠ 4♦ T♥ 6♣ (Two Pair, Sixes and Fours)
(Pre 33%, Flop 19%, Turn 10%)
Hero shows K♣ 9♣ K♥ 8♦ (Three of a Kind, Kings)
(Pre 67%, Flop 81%, Turn 90%)
Hero wins 51 BB

Pre: Standard Raise. You can iso-raise at least your MP-opening range and add some hands with nutty and big card value.

Flop: Villain has fish stats so he still can hold AA. I think it is a mistake to play for stack at deep spr. After calling he mainly has a flushdraw (+sidevalue) but also lots of other hands are possible primarily tons of toppair(+sidevalue like gutshot), rarely 2pair or set.

Turn: Check behind here is a huge mistake. The turn is a total blank and did not change anything on the board. Miss out a lot of value, you have usually the best hand here and you want to get in more money against weaker hands and also to make him pay draws.

River: Raise. The block bet is weakness so I would raise for value, not raise pot but smaller so he can call weaker hands. When you get reraised pot it is a tought decision cause a backdoor straight is quite unlikely.

Also in my experiance People tend to reraise with Straights and trip aces on the flop at PLO2, not waiting for a delayed x/r on the turn. So I would also bet the turn instead of giving flushdraws a free card.

As you are almost 200bb deep, if opponent raises it will be a nasty spot. As he could have AA, AK with something or 88. And he has shown that he can raise pre, so limp-calling AA doesn't make sense. But you never know how people decide to play AA deep.

As played, you need to pot the turn. He has something on the flop, and turn is blank. Now you just give him free river to what ever he has, and as you pot the flop he is not going to bluff rivers often.

As a general rule, start thinking about slow playing when you have the hand locked (no bad rivers).
