According to trainer, preflop I should raise again (with -3 EV diff call vs pot). I wasn't sure during play whether this was a raise or call hand because I haven't trained too much against raises.

On the flop, I put SB on flush draw, and CO on set. I might draw the nut straight and still had the KK. Although because of the flush draw possibility, maybe I should have folded when SB donk bet? During the play, I forgot to consider CO, that's why I called SB's bet. And after CO raised and SB called, it was then only fold or shove. Because of the big pot, I decided to just shove and hope for the best then. What should be the correct play during the flop?

Yeah could squeeze pre especially with active open raiser and two call happy players.

As played versus pot we just have to fold. 7 nut outs with two players behind is just not enough with bad price. Once you call and face this action it should be folded again. Extremely often you are versus better made hand and fd meaning you likely won't have 30+% equity.

Important thing here is to understand why solver has best EV for 3bet. It assumes that opponents fold a lot of hands to a squeeze, while in reality at PLO2 you will almost always end up in big 4way pot or people just shove it preflop. I wouldn't mind it, you just have to embrace the variance and get it in on most flops as SPR is less than 0,5. I am quite sure that in average PLO2 player pool call has better EV than squeeze, as getting value for strong hits has never been a problem in multiway pots.
