Aaron, I don't know if this was ridiculous or not I don't know the first thing about NL. But after looked at it I guess I should have at least folded to the river raise.

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Js Ts (two pair, jacks and tens).
MP2 has 8s 9s (straight, jack high).
Outcome: MP2 wins $5.44. </font>

The board is very scary, flush draw and straight potential which could easily fit with the possible holdings of the other players. You should perhaps overbet the pot at the flop to reduce the implied odds and then prepare to let go if anybody comes along. You have TP and a so-so kicker, you might be ahead but it is not certain.

Your call preflop is good, as there is loads of implied odds and your opponents will pay off if you hit. Only problem is if the BB is very aggresive and often reraises here so you'll have to fold then you might consider your hand, but I doubt that happens at these stakes, unless of course if he has AA/KK.
