Boredom can be costly...but sometimes it's really funny (LC)

Playing during the day at work (not cool, but it helps to be the I.T. guy sometimes). Haven't seen a flop in 3 orbits, so I limp a pretty crappy hand in EP.

Poker Stars
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
8 players


Stack sizes:
UTG: $139.30
Hero: $172.70
MP1: $7.65
MP2: $89.25
CO: $101.60
Button: $64.05
SB: $79.35
BB: $100

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is UTG+1 with
UTG folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls, 3 folds, SB raises to $4, BB folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

SB with a weak raise like that? Sure, I'll call anything at this point.

FYI, not much in the way of reads, no PTO at work and with the table hidden behind an excel worksheet it's hard to pay attention. I think SB is a bit loose, but that's about it.

Flop: ($13, 3 players)
SB bets $7, Hero calls, MP1 calls all-in $3.65.

I took a long time to decide to flat call here. Partly because I was talking to my boss, and partly because I wasn't sure what to make of his bet. Smelled like an average A2 hand with not much else. First thought was to push him off with a big raise, but I don't have a hand that can stand up very well to a reraise (do I?). Second thought was to fold, but then I figured wtf, I'll flat call and try to push him off on the turn if it doesn't look like he improves.

Turn: ($30.65, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $23.95, Sidepot 1: $6.7)
SB bets $7, Hero raises to $40,

Well, no help there, and now he might chase with an A2, so I should raise to push him off, take the small side pot, and break even on the hand.

Ok, no, that's not what I should do, but that's what I tried anyway.

SB calls.

Well, that sucks.

River: ($110.65, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $23.95, Sidepot 1: $86.7)
SB checks, Hero checks.

Anyone try and bet here? If my read of weak A2 was right then he won't ever fold, so I figure I'll take my lumps and move on with it.

Results:
Final pot: $110.65

Well, of course the converter blows donkey cack, but SB showed A 4 7 9 (nope, not even the flush draw) and I took 3/4 from him with AQ high.

if you bet the river, it would be prime example of value town.
