wow there are kind of things wrong with this hand -- and im gunna go alittle rough on my critique of this hand.....sorry
First of all, limping in UTG with k8 off suit is never a smart play. You did flop two pair, which will happen sometimes, but more times than not you are wasting your money calling, or will waste more money being outkicked when your king hits.
The guy in the BB with pocket Aces is ridiculous for allowing 3 people to join him in this flop with no raise. He's ASKING to get outdrawn (and he was, serves him right)
Flop hits....You bet waaaaaaaay too little on the flop (although in this case he would of been around anyway) There was a flush draw on the board, a straight draw on the board, and your two pair, although most likely ahead at this point, was very very vulnerable and with your bet you are inviting anyone with any kind of a draw (including bottom pair with an over) to stay around for dirt cheap.
Keep in mind the guy with aces is playing the hand equally as bad, as he just calls...... again ASKING someone to outdraw him
The 10 hit on the turn, which could of completed someone's straight now, there is still a flush draw on the board, and again I don't like your bet still waaaaaaaay too small. Now the AA decides to raise....you push in he calls
In this case it wouldnt of mattered, bc he wasnt on a draw, he had Aces. And yea it sucks that you flopped 2 pair and he rivered one of his two remaining outs on you. You were over a 5 to 1 underdog preflop though, so its just a case of him reoutdrawing you, after you outdrew him. Overall playing K8off in any position outside of a very short handed table is very unprofitable, especially UTG....... but it is a unfortunate beat that he hit one of his 2 remaining outs
