You could squeeze preflop.
As played I think I go check/call all the way vs unknowns. Also CO probably a fish since he is not full stack.

Yeah pre we can go either way, I like calling when suited v earlier positions. I check call down and feel gross when he shows 99. I might might be able to fold river but I don't think so.

Preflop can go either way, but flatting is totally fine. On the flop, I'd just lead for value given the limit and population tendencies. As played I'd probably call down on this particular texture, but by the river the spot is getting really ugly.

I would still expect squeezing to have a higher EV, even with MP opening, but calling is also fine.

As played post flop looks great without reads. We don't expect either villain to be playing AK AQ this way on the river. We're also a little deeper than usual with one player.

Calling seems fine tbh, doubt it's a mandatory squeeze. Squeezing is reasonable of course.

Leading the flop is good given the texture. I doubt checking is the highest EV in practice.

Somethng about UTGs turn sizing suggests a hero fold imo. I think a big part of the problem here is that we didn't take initiative on the flop. We risk giving way too many free cards and make it harder for ourselves to define our opponent's ranges.
