Re: was he right to call my bets

I don't think he had odds, should he have continued to call? I wouldn't have, but it looks like he was desparate calling off half his stack on 16 outs.
A weak player who caught, just note it and keep playing.

Why dont you think he had odds? Normally, the odds offered on the flop wouldnt be very good w/just an OESD but he also has the benefit of another caller (giving him 3:1 instead of 2:1) + implied odds and a backdoor flush draw. On the turn, he's picked up a flush draw (which is probably good) so he's got 15 outs. 29 other unseen cards:15 outs makes him just slightly better than the 2:1 he's getting, plus he should have shoved the rest of his stack in on the river which you would have quite possibly paid off considering the amount relative to the pot. Him checking the river is truly terrible. You didnt do anything wrong after the flop, its just a made hands vs drawing hand matchup and somebody's gotta lose.

Agreed. Your opponent had almost enough pure pot odds to call on the flop, with 2 opponents it was certainly reasonable to expect he’d get some add’l $. On the turn, he had enough pot odds by themselves with actual cards, never mind implied odds.
But his play was a tad risky since hitting his hand is obvious to you and might not get paid off, and you could easily have a better flush.
