My thinking:
- I usually mix between mostly 3betting and calling this spot. Given the villain is UTG and not an obvious fish, I opted to call the min open pre
- I floated three streets, thinking I have SD against all FD, but in retrospect, maybe I should lead the flop to target better PP than mine?

I would fold preflop. I use 3bet only in SB and then SB likes to 3-bet linear.
If you call this hand I would fold flop.
Not sure how your call range looks like but I think you have better hands to call: some pairs, flushdraws, openended and gutshots etc who can continue. Let this one go. Only 2 outs to improve and calling 3 streets is leaking money.
Call pre can be okay vs. a minopen from the small blind, but given how you're speaking about the hand, playing 10nl, and making kind of a big mistake postflop, I'd strongly suggest just playing a tight 3-bet or fold strategy.
The villain is in CO—not UTG. The flat pre is okay and flop/turn are both folds. River call might be okay.
Guys OP is BB...
I think folding turn would be the right play (maybe even flop).
Think flop/turn are fine as played, but river feels thin. 44 just doesn’t beat enough value once villain triple barrels, I’d prob fold river and move on.
Lol, disregard my post then about SB--reading HH too tough. Fold flop/turn.
