0,02/0,04 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.60 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♠, 2♦
5 folds, CO checks, BU folds, SB calls $0,02, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0,08) Q♥, 6♥, A♦ (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $0,04, SB folds, Hero calls $0,04.

Turn: ($0,16) 2♣ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0,04, Hero raises to $0,16, CO calls $0,12.

River: ($0,48) 8♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $0,50, CO raises to $1,00, Hero calls $0,50.

Final Pot: $2,48

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two pairs, aces and deuces (As 2d)
CO shows two pairs, aces and eights (8s Ah)

CO wins with two pairs, aces and eights (8s Ah)

I lose big pots with two pairs vs higher two pairs/straits very often :(
Are there any articles on playing two pairs?

hi
instead of calling i would lead on the flop with a 0.06$ bet
i would bet again on the turn and probably bet fold the river if he shoves
as played i would do a blockbet on the river ( 1/2 pot ) and fold to a raise since the flush is completed now

Just like srohack said

I would lead flop and fold to a raise.
Bet turn strong near pot size with 2 pair. We dont want him to get a cheap flush.
Block bet river 1/4-1/2 since we could easily be beat here with higher 2pair, set or better.
