Default Extracting value vs. Protecting hand PLO8 $10 FTP tourny

This is a hand I had yesterday in double stacked PLO8 tourny on FullTilt Poker, I ended up bubbling, going out in 10th (was extremely angry with myself as had finished 3rd in same tournament the day before), and as I was looking back through my hand history I came across this hand. It came about early in the tournament but looking back I feel if I had gotten more value on my hand here then I would have been in much better shape for the rest of the tournament. The reason I potted the turn was to try and force any potential flush and low draws out of the pot. Is this the right action here? Should I have bet less to induce a call from a weak 2 pair or a hand along those lines? I can't really afford to split the pot, but if a low draw does call and the river comes high, I guess I've picked up extra chips.
