I figured SB for AA because of his preflop and flop pot bet but I was worried about UTG flat calling on this low coordinated board.

I didn't have enough to push either off their hand but I figured UTG for a flush draw. I thought he would also put SB on AA and repot if he had a set or straight. I really couldn't think of anything that he could be flatcalling here with. I can see a set flatcalling here simply because there are still a few behind but shouldn't he repot if he had a set against the AA? I pushed hoping to get good enough odds that my two pair would hold against AA and possible flush draw.

Is this an overall alright decision given my thinking or should I have just let this go?

I don't play much omaha, but when I do play I would never go to war with top 2 on a coordinated board with a FD. Even when you're not totally dominated you're only very slightly ahead.

Fyp.

Fold this trash preflop. Flop is also an easy fold with the c/bet from sb and the flat call from UTG.
If UTG folds I can see a shove wanting to get it heads up with the original raiser.

Would you think my analysis of the hand not pretty close? Just a flat call from UTG would usually mean he is drawing correct? So it would generally be my top two against a possible AA and draw? I know that is only slightly ahead but for the odds would it not be worth it?

If you're familiar with Holdem strat talk, you'll know the term WA/WB (way ahead or way behind).

This is a SA/WB situation (slightly ahead or WAYYYYYYY behind) If you are ahead in this spot multi-way, it isn't by much, and if you are beaten, you could be drawing very slim. With a near pot bet and a call on the flop, it's a pretty easy fold imo.

I'm letting this go on the flop. There are so many threats on that board, including sets, made straights, and big draws that your T2P is most likely either already behind or is at best very, very vulnerable. I'm not continuing with a mediocre T2P on a very coordinated board facing action from 2 opponents with one more still to act.

You had two oppurtunities to fold PF, but took neither of them, i think that's your biggest mistake here.

I agree, that hand doesn't have enough potential to warrant playing from EP and certainly doesn't warrant calling a raise. Change the Qs to the As or 8s and it's a different story.
