PLO10, PLO newb's straight faces scary turn

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (7 Players) CO: $9.42
BN: $5.10
SB: $7.74
BB: $7.99
UTG: $7.60
UTG+1: $13.15 (Hero)
MP: $10.00
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is UTG+1 with 9 7 T J
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.35, MP folds, CO calls $0.35, BN calls $0.35, SB calls $0.30, BB calls $0.25
Flop ($1.75) 8 9 Q
SB bets $1.68, BB folds, Hero calls $1.68, CO calls $1.68, BN folds
Felt like just calling because of fish behind.
Turn ($6.79) 8 9 Q Q
SB bets $5.71 and is all in, Hero calls $5.71, CO folds
Thoughts:

- I am underrepped I guess
- This is one of my better straights as I have 9 blocker
- Q9/Q8/89 seems fairly unlikely as V potted flop in a very multiway flop

Thoughts?

I'm not sure I play this hand pre-flop from UTG+1, maybe CO. Calling flop is fine, I think, but with more players, a non-diamond turn is likely to give someone a flush draw. On the turn, what do you think he does this with that we can beat? Perhaps the nut flush draw, or maybe the same hand with a flush redraw, both of which have decent equity against you. I think you are behind too often here for it to profitable to call.

Of course I could be wrong.

You don't think we can bluffcatch with our straights with strong blockers? I feel like, but could be wrong, that if we fold all straights we significantly overfold.

I understand why you chose to call the flop, but I'd just raise it. I've seen players at these stakes call it off with any set/2 pair + some BDs in this position.

Sure SB might be spewing on the turn, but when the Q pairs there's a chance you're getting it in bad here.

As played, I'd personally call it off here but wouldn't be surprised running to either a FH or a similar hand with a FD. I think it's too tight to be folding your straight at these stakes.

If we were deeper, calling may be best, but here we can raise to around $6:80, practically getting it in on the flop with nuts. I sometimes wait for a safe card in Omaha and often end up waiting for it the whole day.
There's also a fancy play here; min-raising. The villains after you will than have to assume the opener will re-shove, so they need to decide at once about their whole stack.
I think a straight is too weak, even if its the nuts right now, for this play. If I had this much time to think about the hand in a game, I would re-shove.

As played,I'd make a crying call on the turn with this low SPR. Villains line scream JT at least. Depending on how he plays ofc, but generally we very rarely win here imho.

Yes he can have same straight but at those stakes you never know he can easily also have a set or some kind of rundown with QJ109 or QJ108.
Whats interesting to me that nobody hasnt mention CO. When SB goes all-in OTT we have difficult decision to make but we also need to worry about CO behind us. CO can easily have a set here! SB can easily have us beat here and CO behind us makes it even scarier. So its a easy FOLD!!!

Just get it in on the flop! You get probably called anyway, there are many combos that can call you.
