In a low-limit Omaha table, what do you do with quads OOP with a bunch of passive players?

Absolute Poker
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 10h.gif 8h.gif qs.gif 8c.gif
2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: 8d.gif qh.gif 8s.gif ($0.4, 4 players)

Hero?

I would like everyone's opinion because I really think I butchered this hand after the flop..

Hero isn't getting paid unless someone hits a boat on the turn. Check. Any bet will win the pot there.

+1 check is the only way to go

Almost the identical hand as I just had - tough to get paid when you have the board locked

Wow, that's strikingly similar..


On the turn, a 5c hit...

Now, I checked... Bad move right?

Nah, I still check there. Let them catch whatever they're drawing at. What hand possibly calls a bet that wouldn't MAKE a bet when checked to?
simo_8ball
The problem you have is just that noone will call any kind of bet at all unless they have 55, QQ or *maybe* AQ/AA/KK with clubs

Like this hand too.

I have the board crushed, and I'm utg. What possible hand calls any bet? Gotta bet the riv obv to avoid it getting checked down. Just hope someone has hit something by that point and might raise you...
