Grats on more moneys

Even bigger grats on finding a NL player who thinks he can play PLO no problem :D

Isn't the check semi-standard hu vs given opponent in a 3b pot?

I like the check back against marblearch. From the amount I've played with him, he's a thinking player and will eliminate a lot of flush draws from your range if you check a flop that's so good for you to cbet so I'm assuming that's why he made the bluff. I think he played the hand well, his hand actually looks a lot weaker if he leads river and check/raising allows him to pick off a bet from you if you're light value bet/folding.

I gotta disagree with the river play. Any of the hands that im value betting on this river I am not folding to a c/r, especially with such a good price. Only hands im folding here are pure bluffs, I am not firing the river when I have decent showdown value, and leading would accomplish the same thing as c/r when I have air except it will cost less when I actually do have a hand. Once he leads the turn I think a lead on the river looks strong and could get me to fold a str8 and even a mediocre flush.
