The PLO pro's can tell you if the raise pre is right, but I think it's winning as long as you don't go crazy post flop.

I like the flop check (betting and getting raised here stinks),
I'm not sure about the middling bet on the turn, if you fear getting check raised you can check, I'd just bet bigger(same old story: get value, charge draws, get to play a bigger pot river on favourable run outs)
Unlucky river sir, next hand...

If you fold here at any point your full kings, you better stop playing poker, very low chance he can have quads

My doubt was that what kind of hand he could have when he shoved to €4.12 after my €1.95 raise? Would he do that with K2 or T2, forming a 2 full? Would he think that I had a spade flush in such scenarios?

I would have definitely folded his shove if playing PLO-6 instead of regular PLO.

He can do that with any Lower set , or just trips 2 maybe , depends on the player ofcourse allso, but you have the highest possible full house there is no A on bord , it’s a good play I think .

It is good that you are thinking about the why of the shove. Putting players at this skill level on only quads is very difficult because they could be doing it with many worse combos. They often do not think about boat over boat in spots like this.

On turn with 2 live players 50% pot is not the most effective sizing when the flush completes. It allows a big check raise possibility and low river clarity for our hand if called possibly by both players.
