I am looking for thoughts on how this hand was played. It feels like there are a lot of hands that can put me in a really bad spot and I am fighting for half the pot the majority of the time. Thoughts?

Yatahay Network - $0.02 PL Hi/Lo (6 max) - Omaha Hi/Lo - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 93 BB
BTN: 94.5 BB
SB: 234.5 BB
Hero (BB): 123 BB
UTG: 25.5 BB
MP: 125 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J A 6 A

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, CO calls 1 BB, fold, SB raises to 4 BB, Hero raises to 14 BB, UTG calls 13 BB, fold, SB calls 10 BB

Flop: (43 BB, 3 players) A 8 Q
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets 11.5 BB and is all-in, SB calls 11.5 BB, Hero raises to 89 BB, SB calls 77.5 BB

Turn: (232.5 BB, 3 players) 5
SB checks, Hero bets 20 BB and is all-in, SB calls 20 BB

River: (272.5 BB, 3 players) 8

Spoiler:
SB shows T 5 K K (Two Pair, Kings and Eights)

Main Pot [77.5 BB]: (Pre 19%, Flop 8%, Turn 6%)
Side Pot#1 [195 BB]: (Pre 25%, Flop 8%, Turn 6%)

Hero shows J A 6 A (Full House, Aces full of Eights)

Main Pot [77.5 BB]: (Pre 60%, Flop 84%, Turn 92%)
Side Pot#1 [195 BB]: (Pre 75%, Flop 92%, Turn 94%)

UTG shows 4 J Q Q (Full House, Queens full of Eights)

Main Pot [77.5 BB]: (Pre 21%, Flop 8%, Turn 3%)

Hero wins 259 BB

Standard. I like the flop check to trap if we believe that UTG will bet most of his hands. Then obvious raise and nothing more to think.

Things like "I am fighting for half the pot the majority of the time" are nonsensical. It's not true and it wouldn't matter even if it were true. Only equity matters. Run some sims on propokertools to get a feeling how your hand fares against different hands that are willing to get it in.

I probably just cbet the flop unless I have a strong read that UTG will auto throw in his pot committed stack. Your way obviously could not have gone any better. Not sure what on Earth made SB call your check raise.

It's microstakes...I remember (pre black friday) making all sorts of stupid moves after much drinking, having friends encouraging silly long shot play, and playing for too-small stakes.

Sometimes you just don't care. Or want to go to bed.
