Lol
no but seriously, I think you didn't do too much wrong here. I think I would've check-raised all in on the turn, you're only getting paid by an 8 so you might as well make them pay. As it was you got in by the river, but gave two cheap cards for the player with 4 outs. In any case, I doubt you'd have shaken this player off for a big raise at any stage, but I think in this case, knowing you'll only be paid by an 8, you can afford to be a little more aggressive. I would not give free cards on any street here (even if that means making small bets/raises) because it is entirely possible someone has an overpair to your 2s which you need to make pay a few dollars to draw out on you.The flop may in all seriousness be the right time to raise here because you'd rather not (i imagine) give free looks to two players with an 8 and one player with an overpair (quite possible) for a total of 8 combined outs. One or two of the players who called a buck here aren't going much further with this as they're clearly fishing in with marginal holdings, so I don't think you lose any value by losing them, you just reduce your chances of being run down by the river. Again it's one of those risk versus reward situations, and the main consideration should be whether you're prepared to take the risk of letting in cheap draws to enable you to win a big pot down the line.

Final Pot: $71.55
The BB was kind of new to the game and I saw her call and $15 all in on a 9TJ flop with AKo. I once again got greedy. I didn't want my flopped boat to go to waste and most people with an 8 would let me know right away and wouldn't get them to fold anyway so I was hoping to trap someone with an 8 that was also slowplaying. This way, I could lure another person in. There was probably no way to win this pot but comments on how I played it?
