This guy has played pretty passively but for the most part he is unknown. All I remember from this hand was that my thinking process really f'd up this hand.

Flop: I think I just called because I was scared he had a 5 or KK because you barely see people raising this big, awful right??? Should I have just shoved because he probably calls here with any king.

Turn: Check because I'm not really sure, but I think I wanted to let him have a free card because for some reason I felt that if he had a flush draw, I wanted to let him hit his hand. AWFUL I KNO!!! Shoving here probably would have been the correct play again.

River: Looks like his flush hit, I think he calls here w/ any king or possibly an 8 or a high flush anyway so I shove. The mofo flips over 88!!!!

Wow...so somebody plz explain how badly I played this hand and what would have been the correct thought process. Thx
