BB's flop check/3-bet already has me scared, so when it's two to you on the turn, I think it's time to let go. I'm thinking BB quite likely flopped a flush or a set (especially once he raises the turn), and it seems SB may now have trip 8's that he decided to test on the turn, so I'm not thinking too highly of your outs situation.

Why did you cap the flop?
You had to let it go on the turn, good fold.

Why did you cap here? I really, really would consider either folding this for one more. What card can come on the turn that makes your hand safe? None. Even in the best case, you are drawing to 4 outs after the turn, which sucks.

FYP. Turning a K would be pretty good. I agree that there is no reason to cap the flop though, and folding the turn is obvious.

If you hit your 2 outer on the turn you then have the odds to draw to the river. I guess I just forgot about that case. :-)
