Playing 2 pair in PLO

I am not a fan of 2 pair in PLO. I dont put much money in with these hands unless I am drawing to more solid outs. Keep in mind, my game is full ring live PLO and not short handed 6 max online. I see a lot a players get money in with 2 pair where I never would. I dont know if my strategy is flawed or if I should be putting money in.

I ran into a hand this week where I was confused by why the villian played it. Nothing special here:

I have 89Tx with suited clubs and the flop is QcJcx and I have a gut SFD and a good wrap here. THere is $70 in the pot preflop and I check, villian bets $50 and 1 caller and I make it $250 with $300 behind. Villian calls and other guy folds. Turn is a blank and I shove and he calls my all in. I brick out and he wins with QJxx (no bd or connector cards or even a flush draw). I figure I am 70% in this hand but how does the villian value 2 pair so much? I would not want to bet call a psb with 2 pair and no draws but I see people doing this a lot.

What does he think is he ahead of to make this call?

Am I missing something?
