Maybe I shouldn't have 3-bet this pre, and maybe I am way too aggro after while on pure draws?
Sample size is pretty tiny, but:

- UTG is 92/76 after 26 hands
- Button is 100/47 after 30 hands (yes he played every single hand)
- SB had only recently sat down but had played every single hand as well.

Preflop has to be ok - they are all calling, and its impossible to believe we don't have more than our fair share of equity with this hand multiway.

Flop - I'll be honest - I haven't been playing this game long and I simply don't know. If we are facing trips from two different players, how are we doing equity wise? Or against one trips and one A3?

Turn - to me this is too much action now. I think there is a good chance we are not good if the 2 or 5 of diamonds comes on the river, which only leaves us 6 diamonds to possibly get only half the pot.

Nice villain stats - everybody solid at o8?

capping flop might be a bit too loose, but not too terrible. the raise on the turn, you may just be gambling too much here. the pot is so big by now, these two players are seeing that river card.

i definately cap flop if there was two low cards on flop though

PF is questionable...until you look @ the stats lol. I'd just jam here. When I'm @ a table with this dynamic my goals are to realize the full equity of my hand and to maximize my value.

The 2nd one is easy. I talk about this a lot in my videos but the long and short of it is these guys will call you with hands you wouldn't even be able to name. They're not folding 8835 with 3s on the flop. Not happening. So punish that. Don't be afraid of bad beats.

The 1st part - basically you want to jam when it's good and don't be afraid to lose players. I'd 3-bet pf here. The flop is close. I think raising is OK but I'd probably just call with the 3rd diamond and few (if any) clean 2 pair outs. Make that T a 7 or something (where a Q is a scoop out a lot of times) then I am more aggressive. As is putting in the 4th bet is a bit of a spew here.

As far as the turn goes - you're up against a better hi with a strong scoop draw. You're an equity dog to something like TT** but with dead money tagging along. I'm sure you've got your 25% but that raise is a little scarier to those guys than the flop one AND you're not closing the action. So I'd say the turn raise is bad.

Easy way to describe this hand - you have a hold'em draw on the flop. Maybe a little better. You're playing Omaha. That T being a 7 takes you from 2-1 dog vs. nut hi to just about flipping. And that's against top set.

Cool hand though!
