Why did you bet flop? And if you decide to bet this, why bet so much?
Turn is fine. Villain can easily have 9s8s52 or other random garbage you are now crushing that he's never folding, any big draw hand is also not folding is significantly behind and probably not putting money in on the river if it misses.
If villain isn't a moron then calling looking to call most rivers might be better, but...
Life lesson. Don't overvalue two pair in plo. Obviously you beat a component of his range that's on a draw or is a worse two pair. Any competent player profits of this play or gets it in with decent equity.

I'm not saying don't bet the flop, or that it's not profitable, but if I did I wouldn't bet pot. I'd probably also check this hand a non-trivial amount vs. a random at $2 PLO and expect that to be at least as profitable as betting.
The main question was "why" or "what was OPs reasoning for betting (what did he want villain to do with what of his range)", dito. the sizing. Given the pot bet I'd generally assume value but then all his descriptions play down the hand ... and maybe he assumed he's good for the value, will get called by any4 but then has a good read BB always has a random set when he raises ... but if so turn/river action is trivial. But then maybe he's just betting pot a lot on flop when he raised pre. and didn't think much about doing so now.
Ok-ish hand!
you're crushing pair + draw hands, also two pairs is in bad shape!
Against a set, you've lot equity and it is not a huge mistake... rake and opponent style should be taken into consideration, it's fine to fold to a nit with small edge into a high raked game.
