PLO10: Bluffing Missed Draw PLO10: Bluffing Missed Draw

I've only played live Omaha cash occasionally before. I normally play NLHE $15-$30 heads-up hyper-turbos but I'm looking to add some variety to my grind so I'm planning on playing PLO10 5-6 hours a week. Would appreciate some criticism.

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 9 players

BB: $2.31
UTG: $11.70
UTG+1: $6.00
UTG+2: $16.42
Hero (MP1): $9.64
MP2: $11.54
CO: $14.09
BTN: $9.08
SB: $11.68

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is MP1 with 7 K 6 5
UTG raises to $0.35, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.35, 2 folds, BTN calls $0.35, SB calls $0.30, 1 fold

Flop: ($1.50) 2 4 6 (4 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $1, Hero calls $1, BTN folds, SB folds

Turn: ($3.50) T (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $2.25, UTG calls $2.25

River: ($8.00) T (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

Spoiler:
Final Pot: $8.00
UTG shows 2s As 3c Ac (two pair, Aces and Tens)
Hero mucks 7c Kd 6d 5s
UTG wins $7.66
(Rake: $0.34)
Table has been fairly passive preflop over 24 hands. UTG had ~24% VPIP and 0% PFR when this hand occurred.

Preflop
What do you think about the preflop call? Due to his tight stats I was putting him on a fairly strong hand preflop but three connected, no-gap cards with King high flush potential seemed like a playable hand.

Flop
On the flop I'm expecting him to often have a premium overpair and/or possibly the Ace/King high flush draw. Should I just let this go in that spot? I'm thinking I have enough equity to peel one off but I'm not sure how I'm doing versus the other two players. If they fold on the flop, I expect to be able to comfortably get it all-in if he barrels any turn that improves me to a straight or two-pair without putting a third club on board, simply because I think it's unlikely for him to have a set on this flop.

Turn
When he checks the turn I barreled because it's unlikely that my hand has much showdown value against his range, I have a fair amount of drawing potential, and on good river cards I think I could possibly barrel him off of an overpair. Thoughts?

River
I was conflicted on this river. I think it's unlikely for him to have a Ten at this point, simply because I would expect him to lead the river if he did. As such, I think a jam would be perfect here simply because his range is so weak. I expect him to fold a ton to a jam but all draws have missed by the river so he might call down. I think checking back was a mistake though.

I'd let it go preflop, particularly in MP1.

I think there's too many players left to act behind you and you'll probably end up out of position on the flop.

fold preflop and try 6max. much more fun.
as played, flop is close, prob folding though. as played, gotta peel turn. as played, river is a very bad card to bluff, plus you still got some sdv. good c/behind.

That's sound advice. Probably more of a late position hand.

Yeah. I don't think it's too bad, likely just a little too loose.

Indeed, the river was a terrible card to bluff barrel. It slowed me right down... Really, really wanted to barrel him if he checked the river but the board pairing is horrible.

Thanks for the input all.
