villian 41/12/0.7 (after 20 hands)

PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 8
2 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB 3-bets, Hero calls, SB calls

Flop: (9 SB) 3, 2, 6 (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls

Turn: (6.5 BB) 10 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls

River: (8.5 BB) 2 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls

Total pot: $10.50 (10.5 BB) | Rake: $0.50

Results:
Hero had 8, 8 (two pair, eights and twos).
BB had K, A (one pair, twos).
Outcome: Hero won $10

maybe all say it was played well but after donk bet on the turn i hesitated with calling down. I finally made this decision after weak calling on the flop. But again, its so close.
I often have problems to recognize if i stay against higher pair or overcards.
Does any1 know the good tip ?

did fine, imo. once it went HU, you arent folding. and, if you raise the turn, he likely folds overcards. if you're a real stud, you may raise the river. but, i think you got an extra bet from him and played it fine.

but, i've become a station in these spots...lol.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Nh. I find his turn donk really suspicious but that's because I'm used to guys who know how to play.

 Yeah I am not too worried about a ten at all here. I have seen some medium pps like 7's, 9's and J's play this way though. I call down the same way.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
