1/2 PS LO8 hand - is this hand played properly?

I play this type of hand a lot, so I don't see preflop as a bad call. The only mistake I see is not raising the flop. You flopped a vulnerable nut str8, and notice that BB got to stay in for one SB? If your going to play a mediocre hand, you have to jam the pot when it hits. What were your thoughts for just calling? BB may not have folded, but when players make mistakes like that, make their mistakes expensive.

I think playing this hand PF is a leak.

I respectfully disagree. With three cards to the wheel, I believe you should enter almost every unraised pot when you have position. (Speaking LO8 here) Hero had this scenario. This also has the advantage of disguising your 'A2 and better' limps. Obviously, if the table is tight you may want to be cautious, but here Hero had the odds.

This can turn into a leak if you can't play post-flop and chase the wrong end of the str8 or low flushes too far.

The reason I did not raise was the board was very draw-heavy and my hand is vulnerable to a few specific cards

This is your dream flop. If your hand is vunerable and you dont feel like raising, then give me a flop where this isnt the case. Anytime you enter a pot with 3456 and manage to hit, the board will be draw heavy and you will be playing for 1/2 the pot. I dont know, maybe you like getting yourself in terrible situations with hands that are absolute crap.

Your hand selecton in LO8 should consist of hands that can become the nuts or close to it. 3456s can make a baby flush, a weak low, a vunerable straight, or just two pair. This might be fine in a 3 or 4 handed game, but not here.
