One day I will learn how to play 10/20 LO8

In CO, FTA you are basically trying to steal the blinds and/or buy the BTN. If you get a flop as you've seen in this hand, you are basically drawing for half the pot (trying to get your money back). You have no way to know if your hand is good. Calling the flop bet is a mistake (hoping to catch).

Your opponent probably has a good low draw and maybe two pair (or set) & knows he's a favorite in the hand.

On the turn things get worse, now you also face a possible flush draw. Your OESD is just not that valuable. You could make your hand and still loose. You have 2 outs to scoop the pot (non-diamond [9]s). If the [A] comes you'll split with the low or get scooped by diamonds.

You played a dog's hand & your steal didn't work. It's time to learn what to do with trash pre-flop. You need a read on the players to make your steal effective. Arethey capable of folding pre-flop. If you've been playing loose and have a weak image, your raises have almost no chance of success. You're just spewing money.
