PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 62.5 BB
Hero (UTG): 140.5 BB
MP: 107.5 BB (VPIP: 27.78, PFR: 20.37, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 57)
CO: 100 BB
BTN: 123.5 BB
SB: 100 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has T♥ 8♥

Hero raises to 3 BB, MP raises to 7 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 4 BB

Flop: (15.5 BB, 2 players) 2♣ 8♦ 5♦
Hero checks, MP bets 6 BB, Hero raises to 15 BB, MP raises to 26 BB, Hero calls 11 BB

Turn: (67.5 BB, 2 players) 9♠
Hero checks, MP checks

River: (67.5 BB, 2 players) 6♠
Hero checks, MP bets 74.5 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 74.5 BB

Spoiler

MP shows A♥ J♦ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 62%, Flop 27%, Turn 14%)
Hero shows T♥ 8♥ (One Pair, Eights)
(Pre 38%, Flop 73%, Turn 86%)
Hero wins 209 BB

I know it is NL2 with moves from higher stakes. :f_biggrin:
Fisrt of all - Pre-flop: that click back 3Bet looked to me fishy, then CBet, and then click back 3bet again.., then check on Turn and over shove River!
What do you think of my play here.

Opening T8s from UTG is a bad idea...

Opening T8s from UTG is bad. Calling villains 3bet with this hand is bad too, yes his move is fishy but he might easily play AA like this.
OTF you can check call with this hand but raising is overplay, calling his 3bet on the flop is just burning money. People do not 3bet flop with other than sets.
When villain plays like this he is very unpredictable and he might do this with total air or with nuts. You can't call there with second pair weak kicker.

This time you were lucky. Take a note on him and exploit him in future. But do not play like this vs standard unknown because most of the population will have nuts.

So, actually I will repeat the same - open UTG T8s is not good idea, but if you have a plan, it is ok.
The basic plan for T8s, I guess, to catch 2P or straight or flush I guess.
Also, it is your range capped and your villain could have all pockets including AA in his min 3b range.
So, you XR PFA and was 3b raised - it is pretty strong move most of the time and you have just TP without kicker, your villain could also have a lot of better hands.

Once more, T8s is not good for UTG play. OTF don´t call 3 bet, just fold.
