Those Darn Overcards

[Zez]

Live 3-6. Game is loose but not as loose as usual.

I get A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the button.
4 limpers, I raise, all call.

Flop:
A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Checked to MP player (who I have no read on) who bets. Raised by LAG player to my immediate right. I figure MP has flush draw or an A and LAG has an ace or is just pretending to. I don't want to call two cold and I don't want to fold, so I re-reaise. EP player calls three cold and MP caps. All call. (We lost one of the limpers along the way).

Turn: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
All check to me, I check.

River: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

EP player now bets. MP raises. LAG folds. I fold. EP calls.
MP shows A8 off for Aces full of eights. EP doesn't show.

I think I played this ok, but it's bothered me all day today for some reason.

Comments?

You played it fine. Nice read.

I do think you have to bet the turn if you have any hope that your hand is in the lead, because a free spade could doom you, but you seem to have correctly read that you were trailing and drawing to few outs, so checking is fine.

looks okay to me...

Good check on 4th. That table is screaming check-raise with everything its got. The flop capper doesn't bet out? hmmm
