50PLO: Playing drawing hands aggressively against light callers

CO: $55.37
BN: $50
SB: $110.56
BB: $63.17 (Hero)
UTG: $78.34
HJ: $60.53
SB is HUGE fish playing 90/17 and never folds to cbets.

CO opens 45% of hands from CO and BTN.

They are both passive postflop.
Preflop ($0.75) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A J 3 T
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO raises to $1.50, BN folds, SB calls $1.25, Hero raises to $6, CO calls $4.50, SB calls $4.50
I 3b, because I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of their ranges. SB will never fold, but I may fold out CO which is fine and let me play the hands HU IP against the fish.
Flop ($18.50) 5 7 8 (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $11.75, CO folds, SB calls $11.75
Cbet with a NFD and a gutshot. Please comment on the sizing. I think maybe bet bigger because of the wet board, but I also want to give myself a reasonably price to draw.
Turn ($42.00) 5 7 8 2 (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $33.25, SB calls $33.25
I turn another gutshot. This is where I'm in doubt. I'm not sure I like my bet because I have almost no FE as he generally calls very light and wants to go to showdown with all of his hands. Should I check back and realize my equity instead of betting? On the other hand I have a very strong draw and would want to build a big pot for when I hit one of my 17 (not all clean) outs.
I generally have problems playing these drawing hands and very often find myself with nothing on the river having put a lot of money in the pot. My plan is to give up if I brick the river because he will call me down very ligth, so I don't think a bluff is going to work very often.
River ($108.50) 5 7 8 2 7 (2 Players)
SB bets $59.56, and is all in, Hero folds
Final Pot
SB wins $105.50
I hope some of you will offer any insights. Excited to be a part of this site and is going to upgrade my account to the Elite Plan as soon as my Stars withdrawal comes through.

Thanks in advance.
