See if you think I made mistakes on *every* street, or just on most of them. I'll try to give you my thinking at the time, but I think this just went horribly the whole way. UTG is LAG.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif. CO posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.
Hm. I don't like being out of position with JTo, but I'll usually complete with little broadway cards and quickly abandon them if they miss.
Flop: (4 SB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, CO folds, Hero calls, BB folds.
I never slowplay top two. I checked intending to raise, but who was I going to count on to raise with no aggression PF? When it was one bet back to me I abandoned the c/r and decided to just call, planning to c/r the turn if a safe card comes. Terrible.
Turn: (3 BB) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls.
Not the safest card, making some redraws possible, maybe even making a straight. I figured UTG would bet again, and I could get in a raise there for value, hoping I wasn't betting his hand for him. Is this a horrible mistake, or just awful?
River: (7 BB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>...
The color is right, and doesn't help straight draws so I'm pretty happy here. What could he have that beats me? He'd have raised PF with an overpair, he'd have 3-bet me on the turn with Q9 or 97 or even a flopped set. Maybe he tripped 8s, but I can't see bogeymen around every corner. So I figured it was more likely that he had AT-QT or KJ-QJ, or maybe even just some random naked J or T.
Final Pot: 8 BB
