If played again I would have called flop instead (to get more callers for a possible flush on turn).
If the flop would have come 8♦2♣J♦ I would have raised on flop like I did here.
Are these lines okay?

On 8♦:2♣:J♦: you would want to bet larger then min raise though, make him pay for the draws.

Hand as played - as I think a J is always leading or x/r the Turn - Hero could entertain betting really small (<$1) to get called by the weaker draws and perhaps induce some spew.
Always tricky considering how to get max value after the hand - hard not to let hindsight influence your thinking.

Yea I should have bet larger if it was to protect a set on the flop.

And yea betting small on turn is a possibility with the nuts here but I think the 1/2 is okay aswell.

I would definitely call SB's bet on the flop as there are 2 more players behind and SB. If the pot was big enough on the turn, I would bet/raise/shove, if not I would just call SB's bet again. Or bet if checked to me.

On the J82 flop I would raise, because we want to protect againt FD since we don't have a boat like on the previous flop.

Hey guys,

Tbh I think flop min-raise is fine. Although we are not scared of draws we can extract value from them and cooler Jx hands before the flush completes.

Turn is fine, can potentially be smaller since we have the board locked up.

I don't have any huge issues with the hand, we don't want to be results oriented just because everyone folds etc.
