The only read I have on CO is that I don't find him to be a great player, got in a min raising battle with a very poor player at the table.

I have position on all these limpers with a decently strong hand here, I think isolating them is a stronger play than over limping. Best case, I play the pot in position heads up.

Debating about checking here. It's multiway and I'm not in position, however I feel that if I give up the betting lead then I can get pushed off the hand by hands like ATss, QJ. Keeping my range uncapped here with my sets, AK, KQ, QQ+ hands seems slightly better.

This is what gets me. A jack has now come and I very well could have the best hand, but I'm often beat. It's not very likely that CO has a pair+FD hand here. I have the Ah and the Js so his semi bluffing range is definitely reduced. His value hands are JJ, KJ, AK (not often but certainly possible, we're still pretty deep), KQhh. His bluffs include lots of spade flush draws, I'm not super convinced that he's raising his non-nut FDs on the flop or that he IS raising his nut draws. So that being said I think I can peel here (maybe wrong? Why?) and what do we do on brick rivers? I think we can definitely fold to any spade, maybe not to hearts.

It's so early in the tournament I don't see any need to get involved much with this board. I agree with the iso raise preflop but after two callers I'm just gonna check and give up on this board. Maybe we can improve on the turn/river for free and see a showdown. Betting on this flop is essentially an air bet (we do have some backdoors though) and we're just bloating this pot by stabbing here.
Totally agree with raphykid67 here. I think the play PF is fine. You are trying to isolate, play IP with an Ok hand. On the flop, with this board, I think you should check/fold, especially early game and OP. + when you hit like you did on the turn, you get yourself in a terrible tough spot.
Try to see a free turn, and you said, the CO was not " a great player, got in a min raising battle ...", so there are some chances that he will check back a fair amount of time when he missed. Maybe going to minraise, so the decision will be yours to fold/call in that spot.
Hope it helps you,
