Default Re: mistake by not raising?

Raising or limping UTG with TT was OK. The books are oriented toward major tournaments where the play is a lot tighter, so I wouldn't necessarily go with their recommendation to limp.

Why the overbet on the river? It seems like you bet twice the pot. At this point any 8 will beat you. Your opponent sees the straight possibilities too, so he will probably only call with a straight or better. It would have been much better to check the river or make a less than pot-sized bet.
