Out of position, I'm not a fan of pushing draws too hard but I have to continue on the turn to hope to push him out. What do you do if you get raised on the turn or if he calls and a brick hits the river?

This hand seems pretty straightforward because it stayed cheap but I'm used to being an aggressive playing in holdem and I'm very passive in Omaha and seem to play scared in these situations. Any ideas?
