Re: 2 pair against a fish and a scary board
grunch...
Fold preflop, fold flop, raise turn, river the way you played it looks fine.
Preflop you could get raised while you're shorthanded. I think 98s against loose players isn't a good hand to play unless you know you're getting at least 5 players for one bet.
On the flop, you have bottom pair, with a crappy straight draw where someone could have a flush draw. Fold that [censored].
Raise the turn, you want to push someone off a hand that could outdraw your vulnerable bottom two pair. And you want to do the pushing so someone doesn't push you off your hand representing a lone jack. Fold to a 3-bet, I think the pot wasn't big enough to draw to a boat? You're probably taking a free showdown.
