50PL: isolating didn't quite work out

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (6 Players) BN: $222.75 (Hero)
SB: $57.89
BB: $50.00
UTG: $18.76
MP: $194.94
CO: $42.91
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is BN with 4 9 T 7
2 folds, CO raises to $1.50, Hero raises to $5.25, SB calls $5.00, BB calls $4.75, CO calls $3.75
Flop ($21.00) T 4 J
SB checks, BB checks, CO checks

CO is 34/14, opens only 20% in CO but hasn't 4bet over 600 hands.

Blinds are both reg, SB is a pretty decent one and plays up to 200PL, so he propably will have some rundowns and some decent KK.
BB is one of the weaker regs in the pool, propably can have most KK and QQ and some hands that are gonna be to weak to coldcall in this spot.

Do we check this back and pray? SPR is 2,5 with SB and about 2 with BB and CO.

(Im new to PLO)
I dont see why you would isoraise with such a weak hand ( I know its really crappy multiway but that doesnt mean its good enough to 3bet). As played im giving up. Even against Q9** no pair you are slightly behind and I dont think you have implieds on any turncard, but a lot of reverse implieds. Im just guessing but I cant imagine that you have enough foldequity here.

It's a pretty standard 3bet when IP, plays a bit better vs wider ranges but since he doesn't 4bet /4bets only AAxx and I'm gonna have a good postflop advantage over him 3betting will propably be the most profitable of our options.

Against people who are overfolding preflop and/or postflop and with not uberagressive blinds I propably would 3bet even single suited.

You isolate with weaker double suited hands because the value of your flushes rise when you play heads-up. Against more players you are often dominated.

I dont think we can checkback here. with given spr - it's pot-call, in my opinion
BB 7%!(AA)
20%!(AA), then hero has 32% vs 2ranges

if we give BB range of KK$ds, MMBB$ds,MBBB$ds, MBBB$ss, QJT9-, RROO$ds, RROO$ss (not sure if it's correct\relevant here)
then hero has 34.87% +FE

EDIT: forgot to put flop in PPT. changed numbers

I think that both checking and potting is realy close in EV, we are certainly not gonna be printing money by shoving (even if making any), while we do realize a bit of equity by checking back, with actually some cool implieds on a 4 and a T.

Why did you run it against 2 ranges and not 3? I believe against 3 ranges (if they are uncapped (not openshoving flops) our FE will be to little to be jaming here, but I haven't run any numbers on that.
