Here: 5sJcQdJs
I raised in the SB to .30 and was called by BB and CO. I take this as a standard raise in my position. I wanted to ISO 1 player to take it down on the flop. I dont have much info on either player at this point.

Flop
($0.95)
T
9
3
(3 Players)
Hero bets $0.60,
BB calls $0.60,
CO calls $0.60
The flop gives me top SD with BD FD. I C bet 2/3s and get called by both.
Turn
($2.75)
7
(3 Players)
Hero checks,
BB checks,
CO bets $2.70,
Hero calls $2.70,
BB folds
The turn completes 89 and adds a diamond FD. When CO bets I put him on a high FD with a possible TP like 97 or 107
River
($8.15)
7
(2 Players)
Hero checks,
CO checks
Seeing the river I opt to C/F. He could have filled up or missed his FD.
Final Pot
CO has

CO
wins $7.56
Would love some feedback on where I went wrong in the hand.
Thanks

- You'll never win preflop (we don't expect CO to limp-fold in position).
- You're out of position
- BB will often call, and sometimes 3-bet
- Your hand rarely flops well.
- You don't have reads to help you
Basically, most of the time you're just building a bigger pot for your opponents to steal/outflop/outplay you in postflop. You have a small preflop equity edge, but poor postflop playability. In PLO we often have to forgo small preflop edges with hands that play poorly postflop. Especially when we're OOP and stealing pots is difficult.
As played, I think turn is a bet (around 2/3 pot will be best IMO; you can go slightly smaller). The reasons are:
1. we still have a bunch of equity and we like neither c/c nor c/f, and someone will often bet after we check
2. It's hard to value-raise us since we have two blockers to the nuts so we expect to be value raised rarely if ever; and it's hard to bluff-raise us since we have the nuts in our range pretty often, and will be b/c or b/gii various draws and made hands pretty often
3. we have blockers to the nuts and the board just became more static, so overall we have a bunch of fold equity.
If I get raised OTT I mostly fold, but I expect this to happen rarely. If the river bricks out we fire again (I personally fire full pot here since villains have a pretty capped range) and I expect to get all made hands weaker than 86 to fold, and sometimes even 86 folds. If I had particular reads on villain (e.g. that they tend to station rivers) then I would bluff river much less often (but still fire turn unless both are passive).
Now, once you checked the turn I think you have to c/f. Your OOP, you have bad visibility, and your overpair will not do you much good. You simply don't have the implied odds to call this.
