Easy fold on the river?

Hi guys, Ive just recently started to get into PLO, I have zero experience with it as I only used to play NLH microstakes and thought It might be a cool idea to look into the great game of PLO as Joeingram1 says.
Villain in this hand liked to c/c flop and turn and then lead OTR, I saw him do this once with complete air a few hands prior to this one. My question is, given the fact that he likes to call, should I have bet more on the flop/turn? I supposed he was calling with a FD, 765x, 65xx, A4xx,A3xx maybe.
Also, is river as easy of a fold as it looks?

You made it difficult for yourself. You should bet a lot bigger on both streets, he definitely has 567xhh in his BB calling range and your hand needs a lot of protection against that range.
Now about the river.
Its not as easy as it looks like. You have two nut straight blockers in your hand thats what makes it even more difficult. There are two options in my mind, either he bluffs with blockers or as the nuts. Its a very close spot.
