Default Can I find a fold here?

I look to C/r the flop to protect my vulnerable hand. I reaaly felt like I was up against a straight.

Is there a fold somewhere in there?

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

On the flop, I would bet, or then check and typically just call one bet and reevaluate on the turn. Your hand strength is good now but could be squashed on a lot of turn cards, so I don't like 3-betting the flop here especially when it does so little re: hand protection. Turn and river are fine as played out.

Pop that turn. He could have T9 or T8 but its not especially likely. I'm not fearing a set that bad here either. If he capped the turn, you could probably fold the river. But your two pair is very vulnerable on the turn, so playing it strong is the superior play.
