I like a stop and go once CO calls the flop raise. I really dislike bloating the pot (3-betting the flop) out of positon against 2 opponents on a connected board. A better hand doesn't fold (they won't believe you have a 5), and I would suspect a player who pairs their overcard on the turn calls you down.

CO has 2 clubs when he calls then caps the flop, good turn bet. The river I wouldn;t overcall, but would consider calling if CO bet. I hate folding but what does the pfr have you beat if he bets (8% pfr isn't that wide of a range of hands- KQs?)

The way CO played it with the coldcall cap then only calling the turn sure makes it look like a flush draw so I like leading the turn.

I'm not sure about the river. It probably doesn't qualify for a value bet because one player raised preflop and the other was raising a possible flush draw (Axc?) so I would check call. You might get one of them to bluff at this decent sized pot, it does kind of look like you might have missed your flush draw.
