I've just returned to playing micro stakes after a long break and was reviewing my hands from last night. This ones has stumped me a little in the sense that I don't know what I could or should have done differently, so any feedback would be appreciated. Perhaps fold the 3bet (but it was a low bet) and check the flop or turn?

Pacific Poker - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 33.5 BB
BB: 123.5 BB
UTG: 110.5 BB
Hero (CO): 128 BB
BTN: 35.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♣ 8♣

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB, SB raises to 5 BB, fold, Hero calls 2 BB, BTN calls 2 BB

Flop: (16 BB, 3 players) 4♦ 8♠ J♣
SB checks, Hero bets 8 BB, BTN calls 8 BB, SB calls 8 BB

Turn: (40 BB, 3 players) 4♣
SB checks, Hero bets 25 BB, BTN calls 22.5 BB and is all-in, SB calls 20.5 BB and is all-in

River: (105.5 BB, 3 players) A♥

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion board. There fits it better.

Pre-flop is alright. You can't really fold to a min 3bet. Q8s is a loose open. Especially against fishy players behind you and 2 villains have less than 40bb stacks.

As played I would check multi way with middle pair and backdoor flush draw.
You have some showdown value and is tough to get value or a better hand to fold. Also you give them a change to shove on you. On the turn is basicly the same thing and you have now more outs to improve.

Having fishy players behind is more of a reason to open looser.

I would say this is usually a fold but with the weaker players behind, you can open this.

As played, I would bet 1/3 on the flop. Your hand isn't worth more here. You want to protect it vs random over cards, but don't want to put anything more then 1/3 in.

Turn is a check. You have a hand with showdown value that is protected with a flushdraw. Meaning you have a non-vulnerable hand, so you can check here.
