Mistake on the turn?

Table is loose and passive; CO carries hands too far and
has lost at showdown with poor holdings several times over
20 hands.

Nah, turn and river are fine there. Can't slow down with top set, the only two hands that beat you are 75 and T7 and those aren't particularly likely. Value cap 100% of the time.

Is reraising turn bad? I like to 3 bet the turn with mid overpairs on boards like this, buts thats just what i do, kinda wanna hear some others opionions on this though.

I don't like it. Most raises here are going to represent a 2-pair, slowplayed set, or straight.

given your LP read, i play it the same way.

I'd say that CO's raise on the turn most likely represents a small set and I'd fold here.

Raise preflop?

Raise pre-flop, 99 is a good hand yo.

Flop easy-mode.

Turn... ack? You still have the overpair (so folding barring some crazy read) is out, but random donks waking up on the turn is never good. I probably call and look to either counterfeit his two pair or spike a miracle set (which you did -- good job. This will be an extremely important skill to master as you move up limits).

River is standard. You hold the third nuts -- and if he played 57 or T7 like that than you'll get your chips back at some point in time.
