Need help on Thought process 25PLO rush

BN: $34.53
SB: $43.05
BB: $20
UTG: $25.33 (Hero)
HJ: $19.45
CO: $123.31
Villain in this hand 36/21/5 not a whole lot of info other than rush hands, no memorable hands against him otherwise I would have marked.
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A A K K
Hero raises to $0.75, HJ folds, CO folds, BN calls $0.75, SB folds, BB folds
When he calls here it doesn't surprise me, I would assume big top pairs and all high suited cards raise here. His 3b only 5% but I still weigh his range more into the mid/high run down type of hand.
Flop ($1.85) T J 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets $1.25, BN raises to $5.50, Hero calls $4.25
Before I bet I was thinking that I was likely going to be raised on this flop both by his 89's KQ's Suited A's and obv sets. I thought his range was more heavily weighted towards the rundown type hand which would lead me to believe he was drawing, likely a straight which I had a ton of the outs covered. I called to see a safe turn.
Turn ($12.85) T J 5 5 (2 Players)
Hero checks, BN bets $8, Hero raises to $19.08, and is all in, BN calls $11.08
This is where I am not sure if my thinking was correct. I didn't have much time bank left in this hand....

I was thinking that by c/cing the flop my range would be more heavily weighted to made hands as opposed combo draws people typically get crazy with on all flops. I am now ahead of most of his range with my 2 pair now negating TJ. I jam over his bet here thinking it makes a set here looks extremely credible after I pot control the draw heavy flop looking for a safe turn. I was pretty short so I think hes likely not folding after he leads for 8 on the turn but I thought there was a chance.
River ($51.01) T J 5 5 K (2 Players)
Final Pot
Hero has A A K K BN has 5 4 T T Hero wins $49.01
I am getting used to ZOOM PLO and ranges. Played 10k hands so far and ran pretty hot averaging 100bb/100 for the first 10k then losing 15+bi's before finally climbing back up again. I am trying to focus more on how im thinking through these sorts of hands..

I was going to say, fold to the flop raise.  It's always a made hand stronger than yours.  You're drawing to 5 clean outs essentially, which is not very good.

Then I saw the results, and the flop fold seems kinda obvious.  Unless you often expect to hit runner runner like in this hand.  But seriously, just seeing the flop action you have a pretty easy fold there.
