Default Defending w/88 and the board isn\'t helping...

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

No read on the opponent.

Preflop: chesspain is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">chesspain 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO folds, Button calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">chesspain bets</font>, Button calls.

Turn: (5 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">chesspain bets</font>, Button calls.

River: (7 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">chesspain bets</font>, Button calls.

It sucks being out of position. Was there a better way to play this?

Once I am called here on the flop I check-fold the turn every time. I don't think trying to get QJ to fold is worth a two bet expenditure.

Too much FPS. Just check/fold the turn. At least slow down on the river..
