Default 0.5/1 LO8 to passive with 2-way hand

Paradise Poker
Limit Omaha Ring game
Limit: $0.50/$1
8 players
Converter

My plan after the flop was to call down to the river because I didn't have the nuts in either way. Unfortunately this didn't work at all.

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is UTG+1 with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, SB calls, BB checks.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6SB, 5 players)
<font color="#cc3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, Hero calls, MP1 folds, MP3 calls.

I flopped the lowest straight and second nut low. Should I raise the flop? How should I continue when there is a reraise?

Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5BB, 4 players)
<font color="#cc3333">SB bets</font>, BB folds, Hero calls, <font color="#cc3333">MP3 raises</font>, SB calls, Hero calls.

It became more aggressive. Are the calls correct?

River: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (11BB, 3 players)
<font color="#cc3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#cc3333">MP3 raises</font>, <font color="#cc3333">SB 3-bets</font>, Hero ???

I played the hand so passively that I have no idea how to play the river.

I don't think that is ever a good idea. Maybe Im wrong.

It looks like you have the nut low and your drawing for the straight where you need to hit a 3 then you would have 23456.

Looks like you have the nut low at showdown and may have to split that with someone else holding A2.

Default Correction

I had problems with the hand converter which didn't show my hole cards. I made a mistake typing in the cards by myself.

My real hole cards were 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I apologize for the mistake
Matt

Default Re: Correction

Flop:SB is not likely to have you beat both ways.I would raise to protect/promote your hand.

Turn:When SB bets again into 3 players after the 4 came,he has either an 8 or 9 high straight or a nut low.At this point,it looks like you have little chance of getting more than 1/2 of the pot &amp; could easily get 1/4 or nothing.I would fold originally,&amp; lacking that,I would fold after the raise.

River:Fold originally or after the raise.
