raise a little more preflop.

flop is pretty scary for your hand. I don't mind a check-fold but better isn't terrible depending if all pocket pairs are in villain's range which they seem to be at these levels.

give up on turn.

id play this the same way u did. u have 10 outs to most likely the best hand and ud like to see both the turn and river cards.

Raise to $8 preflop?

[Marshall28]

raising more pf accomplishes the goal of defining your hand better than a smaller raise, but at the same time accomplishes folding out other weaker hands that would have alled a smaller raise. personally, i just mash the pot button because ive tried 3betting both 3x and 4x, and just found that i get better results when i raise 3x. its a personal preference though, and neither is "wrong"
