Hi, everyone! New to the forum and new to PLO. Been trying to wrap my head around how to play correctly. This hand turned out pretty well, but don't really know if I played it well. Very loose table with huge 6-7 way pots common. Any advice on what you would have done differently and why, thanks.

PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $0.05 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($5.41)
UTG ($2.80)
UTG+1 ($3.65)
MP1 ($4.56)
Hero ($6.08)
CO ($3.68)
Button ($1.93)
SB ($3.40)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 5, 2, 3, 5.
UTG calls $0.05, UTG+1 calls $0.05, MP1 calls $0.05, Hero calls $0.05, CO calls $0.05, Button calls $0.05, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.40) 6, A, T (8 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $0.05, CO raises to $0.28, Button raises to $1.29, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $1.29, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $1.29, Hero calls $1.24, CO folds.

Turn: ($5.84) 2 (4 players)
UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks, Button bets $0.59 (All-In), UTG calls $0.59, MP1 calls $0.59, Hero calls $0.59.

River: ($8.20) K (4 players, 1 all-in)
UTG checks, MP1 bets $2.63 (All-In), Hero calls $2.63, UTG folds.

Final Pot: $13.46

Results in white below:
MP1 has Qc Qh Jd 7s (High: straight, ace high).
Hero has 5d 2d 3h 5c (Low: 6, 5, 3, 2, A | High: one pair, fives).
Button has As 8h 3s Ts (Low: 8, 6, 3, 2, A | High: two pair, aces and tens).
Outcome: MP1 wins $6.73. Hero wins $6.73.

 I fold this preflop - you have a one way hand, and I dont like playing those.
I definitily fold the flop with so much action

Thanks TLR, yeah thats kinda what I was thinking, but was not sure if its worth a limp when I was pretty sure it was gonna be a huge pot with lots of action if I hit.

It is sometimes correct to call as pot with lots of limpers even if you have a low only hand, but you want to be the one closing the action or pretty close to it. If someone raises preflop behind you are forced to throw the hand away without seeing a flop

On the flop you are drawing to the nut low, and you have decent counterfeit protection, however with so much action there is a decent chance you are drawing to quarter of the pot only, so its just not worth it.

Preflop: I usually don't limp the 23xx hands unless there are callers ahead of me or I am in LP (and can steal the pot if an Ace or 2 hits and it gets checked around to me). On the flop you have a nice low draw thanks to the Ace but the turn is bad news. Without the 4 I would back away as you are playing for half the pot maybe 1/4 at best and losing it at worst.
