Don't lose all your money in an unraised pot.

You flopped TP2K and you led out for a pot-sized bet. I like it. You were called by the EP limper. That could mean anything from him having a straight draw, overcards, a deuce, a six, or nothing at all. So you really have no idea where you are here.

On the turn, a 3rd deuce falls and you bet the pot again. I think that's an unnecessary overbet that's only going to get called by a hand that beats you or ties you. I think a 1/2 pot size bet would have done the job here. He moves all-in, and now you have to analyze the hand backwards.

He limped, so he could have any two cards. He could have been slowplaying a deuce. He could have been trying for a limp/reraise with a big PP. At this point, there's nothing you beat and you can only hope for a split. Best play I think is to lead the turn for 1/2 the pot and when he comes back over the top all-in, you'll probably need to toss it.

Once he calls flop bet, I would slow down and try to put as little as possible into the pot. Think -- what could he possibly have that you can beat?
