Default Please tell me how I should have played 88

I know I butchered this hand but here it is:
PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (6 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls.

River: (8 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 9 BB

Tell me how I could have done better and saved bets...I assume I was beaten

This is how I play this:

Complete the SB and see the flop cheaply.

flop: Bet, Raised... Fold.

Or...
Flop:Check, Fold.

Why bet turn then fold river ?

You read Hellmuth's book or something?

Fold the flop.


If you're going to blow that many chips, you may as well blow another BB and call the river.

I agree he played the hand terribly....but that doesn't change the fact that you, Mr. Spaminator, sound like a moron.
