i like check-calling the river.

once the bb calls, narrow his range to a 7 or a pocket pair. way ahead, way behind situation. check the turn. check-call the river. by checking, some hands worse than yours will take a stab at it, and quads will naturally bet as well, but it'll cost less than betting and facing a raise- you get value out of some worse hands, and you lose less when you're beat.

Your 88 is probably good. If he had a 7 he would have bet the turn.

I dont think that you have made any big mistake at all in this hand. When the button cold-call a raise on this flop it is scary. Im usually done for the hand after that with 88 except if he is a total calling station.

On the river you have to ask yourself what hands strong enough to call a raise on the flop will call on the river and be worse than 88. I dont think its a good bet because of that.

You would be better to check and call a small bet and fold to a big bet IMO.
