There aren't any non-pair hands that you're not dominating or well ahead of.

I didn't really think CO would fold anything but dominated hands for 2 more bets, plus I'm OOP against two good, aggressive players who are willing to battle for pots.

Most of the hands he'll call with will be dominated too. And you want him to fold the hands chesspain mentions, as well as smaller pairs that he might fold. Also a cold-cap from the sb should slow them down somewhat post-flop, it's pretty scary.

I think a lot of the time the way you do it, the flop either goes bet-raise and it's 2 cold to you or check-check-bet-call-checkraise-call-call and you're lost on the turn.

The way you played it, I think you need to checkraise the flop. You probably have the best hand pre-flop and if you're not going to take the intiative then, you have to take it on a one-broadway card flop when you have the opportunity to make the third player face two cold.

I was referring to preflop. I didn't expect CO to fold much besides Ax where X<10, and maybe QJo-JTo. Also, if CO had a hand, he's surely capping with a third player in the pot.

I like the PF cap too. Even though you're out of position, you take the lead in the hand. Like others said, there's a good chance if CO was on a steal, he gets out now and gives your hand a better chance to win. Personally, Ilike the cap because it gives you the initiative postflop. The cap might also get a PP to win if a lot of overs come and he misses his set. Also, when you take the initiative in betting, if the Button or CO push hard back at you, since none get wildly aggressive postflop you can be confident that you are beat and release your hand.
