Default A8s utg 40-80 blow by blow. did my play blow?

here's one i think i played well.

it was 7 handed 40-80 very good live game. i limped utg w/ Ad8d. too good of a hand to fold against such loose players who play poorly postflop and i had been raising way too much so i thought a limp felt just right in this case. like a semi-slowplay. now everyone folds to the sb who raises. he's a little too loose and a little too aggressive, plus he basically has no game. bb calls. he is a loose giant donator, sometimes laggy. so now i 3 bet. this seems like a no brainer to me. i oftentimes have the best hand and when i dont i have position. sb capped and we both called.

the flop was Q92 w/ two clubs and one diamond. sb bet, bb raised, and i 3 bet. see bb is a huge favorite to have a flush draw here. so i like my chance of putting pressure on sb and getting it heads up w/ bb. for instance if sb has AJs, 77, some other hands, he may not call. as it was sb thought and thought and did call. and the bb called.

the turn was an offsuit 8. they checked to me and i decided the pot was big enough to warrant putting in one more bet in the hope that sb would muck a better hand or even a hand like KQs that i want out anyway. he thought again for a long time and decided to call, and bb called as well.

the river was a brick and i gave up and checked behind. sb had TT, bb showed a 7 high flush draw no pair, and i mucked.
