Need help with this 25PLO line

Hand Analysis

25PLO Online 7max

Stack sizes
SB = Hero: 169.37
UTG+1 = Villain 1: 113.36
CO= Villain 2: 38.95
Additional info: I stacked UTG+1 two hands before and he is playing super aggressive.

Preflop
UTG+1 pots it to .85. HJ, CO, BUT, call. Hero calls in SB with T♧T♢4♧8♡. BB folds. 5 ways to the flop.

Flop (Pot = 4.5)
T♡ 8♢ K♧
Hero checks. +1 bets half pot (2.25), HJ folds, CO calls, BUT calls. Hero raises to 12.37. +1 and CO calls, BUT folds.

Turn (Pot = 43.86)
T♡ 8♢ K♧ 6♢
Hero bets pot (43.86). +1 calls, CO calls all in (25.73)

River (Pot = 157.31)T♡ 8♢ K♧ 6♢ J♡
Hero checks. +1 jams for 56.28. Hero folds. +1 shows A♧ K♧ Q♤ J♤ and CO shows 9♧ 8♧ 7♢ 7♡.

Multiple thoughts regarding this hand. First one is the turn bet. Probably could be check calling when 78 comes in or should I be betting smaller and folding to raises? The river seems like an easy spot to fold. Other spot is the flop. Is it better to play passively or is the raise good here? Should I have potted it all the way to 15ish? I figured it was not a good spot to play passively OOP but I'm not sure to be honest. I guess another thing to consider is that I'm blocking my own outs by holding an 8. I'm pretty new to PLO but I just feel like I played this hand incorrectly, either on the flop or on the turn. I'm leaning towards turn but any insight would be much appreciated.

Fold pre. TT84ss is too weak to overcall 5way out of position. Postflop seems ok, nothing out of line.

Thanks for the response. I notice at these stakes, preflop is a lot of pot, call call call call, or limp limp limp limp. Was up a big stack and wanted to gambol, but I guess I should be studying preflop ranges.

This is micro PLO right? You should overcall very little OOP.

Ya micros. Most people bought in for 30. Do you think overcalling in position is better at these stakes and try to outplay post?

You aren't overcalling in position in Omaha to outplay people postflop, you do it so that postflop decision making will be easier with those hands that are not profitable enough as a 3bet, but too good to fold pre.

Very clear fold pre. AP, fold river

I think he's right about folding preflop. After the flop, try looking at your sets as drawing hands. This one isn't even a good draw, you've got 1 ten and 2 8s, a king could make kings full and put you in a miserable spot. Play it like you would any other 3 outer.

Get the idea behind playing sets like a draw but why is this not a "good draw"? Is it because villain could have kings? I assume he would repot if he did. Or is it because I'm holding my own 8? Or is it because another king puts my boat in a tough spot?

Edit: nvm, I reread what you said and it makes sense. I'm either looking for runner runner or 3 outs because he could be calling flop with kt or k8. Am I understanding that correctly?

Because you have 3 cards that give you a super strong hand but there are 20 cards that can come on the turn that make a straight and make you miserable. Any 6,7,9,J,Q,A, actually its 24 cards.

Yup. Makes sense. Thanks for the response
