Hand I played on 2nl zoom. Basically I'm not sure if I should even be getting involved here preflop? Wasn't too sure about sizing either. As for the flop I could bet smaller but I feel like at these stakes the smaller bet gets floated extremely often, whereas 1/2 pot gets folds from all the ace high and random non pair hands. Turn I think I my play is ok.

I would not cold 4-bet this preflop. We are attacking 2 uncapped ranges + BB to act behind. Need to do this with tighter hand selection.

Multiway OOP in a 4-bet pot we might as well check/fold this. There's no need to throw in more money. If we do cbet we generally go smaller sizing in these low SPR spots.

My thinking was the limper probably has a lot of garbage here, and that the button would be isolating him wide IP. Would it be reasonable to call here pf? Or is this just a straightforward fold?

Oh wow, my bad! I totally thought CO opened.
So against a limper and an isolation I don't mind 3-betting this hand. It is quite low in our hand selection though and isn't going to be a huge EV difference between fold and 3-bet.
We can also go for a call here and allow the limper in with a weaker range. This is somewhat exploitative play mainly targetting the weaker player in the CO.

As played with a wide 3-bet range this flop doesn't really do well for us. Sure we have all overpairs but don't have that many 7x and have a lot of air overcards. Would go for a check with range and play that way. KJo being a check/fold.

As played then turn is a good card for our range. We have the stronger Ax and there's only one A7s combo now. The problem is that CO is not going to be range thinking. He won't realise that we hit the ace so often and will be calling all made hands. I think most fold equity against a limper would come on this flop. And then the turn is just a giveup.

Can you explain more about your thought process throughout the hand? Why did you feel it was a good idea to c-bet the flop with that sizing and then again on the turn?

(I'm only saying this because I do the same thing up until recently, firing c-bets without a great plan)

I'm seeing a lack of strategy here -- lots of bets, hoping for fold equity, but not a clear plan. IMO this could be folded preflop, as played I definitely don't fire the second barrel on the turn cuz villian has shown no signs of weakness yet, I don't see the need for most of the aggression. Like if the king didn't show up on the river you'd be losing to anything that hit the flop, even just JTs or QTo type of stuff. I know villain's range is super wide but idk if it makes sense to try and push off draws here, esp. with the villain's line preflop and flop indicating a passive calling station kind of player

Thought process wise on the flop I was thinking that I should bet basically to fold him off Ax type hands, as well as any random hands that missed but have their pair outs. On the turn I was hoping to get a fold from a ten or a hand like 66. Looking at it and reading the responses I've been way too aggro and not accounted for the type of player I'm up against.

Ditto what Citanul says.

Pre-flop is fine. However, as we are OOP, I would make the 3-bet slightly larger (day $0.33) to discourage 3-way action, as KJo OOP vs 2 players isn’t a great spot! I would be switching between calling/3-betting based upon how villain’s tendencies are to facing a 3-bet. Versus low F3B%, I am more likely to call and versus high F3B%, I’m more likely to 3-bet.

On the flop, I think a x/f is best but again I would be taking into consideration both villains Fold to C-Bet stats.
