Default Can Hero trust a read enough to fold here?

Hero is just learning PLO. This hand represents one of the first times Hero is faced with making a tough(?) decison based on Villain reads.

Hero's table image - not that anyone is watching at $10 PLO - is nut peddling.

Villain's stats over 50 hands are 45% VP$iP - 0% PFR - 3.0 total aggression - 32% aggression frequency flop - 56% aggression frequency turn - 67% aggression frequency river. Villain occationally overcommits to a hand. Villain seems to be using hold'em hand valuations at time rather than Omaha valuations (IE over values two pair, non-nut flushes and made straights/flushes on paired boards.)

Villain raises preflop this hand. Looking at his 45/0 stat, Hero puts him on aces + two random cards. Hero decides to go "set mining" based on the hope that Villain will pay off with unimproved aces by being over aggressive.

The flop is a dream flop - Hero decides to give villain a free card on the turn hoping to pick off another bet. The turn card is a disaster, making villain aces full if Hero's preflop read is accurate. The question is: Should Hero rely on his read and fold or is there enough doubt that hero should call down.
