Default .50/1 LO8 Feel Free to Berate Me

I pretty much came to the conclusion that I played this hand horribly. I should have folded preflop, folded flop, and not gotten so aggressive on the turn. In this hand, SB is unknown and BB is very loose.

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

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is UTG with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero calls, UTG+1, folds, MP1 (poster) checks, MP2 calls, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises</font>, BB calls, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (10SB, 5 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, 2 folds, SB calls, BB calls.

I raised here to try to get a free card on the turn. Pretty much a useless play, I guess.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (8BB, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">BB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero caps</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (20BB, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.

Results:
Final pot: 23BB

Yuck. Fold that cheese PF, especially from UTG.

Yep, it was a mistake. A poor decision. But if I were forced to play the hand postflop, would the flop raise simply be spewing?

IMO its fine if you think they'll both call (which they did), basically from flop onwards your playing for half the pot, so you've played the hand correctly seeing as you kept 2 otherplayers, meaning that even though you split the pot you still made some profit.

Fold preflop though, you're never gonna hit a decent low hand unless the board comes A3x lol
