Preflop: Hero is UTG with K A
Hero raises to $0.17, 2 folds, BTN calls $0.17, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.41) T A 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.30, BTN calls $0.30

Turn: ($1.01) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.55, BTN calls $0.55

River: ($2.11) K (2 players)
Hero bets $0.98 and is all-in, BTN calls $0.98

Spoiler

$4.07 pot ($0.27 rake)
Final Board: T A 8 3 K
Hero mucked K A and lost (-$2 net)
BTN showed T T and won $3.80 ($1.80 net)

Please advise how I should play this hand correctly. Should I check turn, bet/fold river? I just cannot forget my 2 pairs easily.
Tks.

Hey Apollo540419,

I think maybe there is a forum especially for Short-Stack hands? You will get a SSS specialist reviewing your decisions then.

Preflop is fine.

Flop cbet for value is good. Turn is very safe for us, we should bet turn and jam river.

Hand was played fine, it's just unlucky that we lose here.
