Results below:
MP2 shows 3d Kd (one pair, kings).
CO shows Ah 8c (two pair, aces and eights).
Hero shows Td Jh (straight, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins 19 BB.

The flop call is easy.

On the turn I'm getting 5-1 with 8 outs, though 2 of them are pretty dirty. 6 outs is a 6.66-1 shot, 8 outs is 4.75-1.

Implied odds should cover the gap? (Obviously in this case calling worked out well. I'm always hesitant of putting in 2 bets cold though)

Your thought process seems reasonable on the turn. The only thing I would be concerned about is that you're not closing the action. But everything worked out and you made 4 bb's on ther river, so your implied odds read was good. Would have played it the same. nh
