I had been doing well tonight until this hand. Bad play by me, or just bad luck?

(Also notice the hand converter is misreading the cards and misstating the result.)

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG+1 ($25)
MP1 ($9.25)
MP2 ($2.45)
MP3 ($19.30)
CO ($29.45)
Hero ($25)
SB ($24.75)
BB ($19.55)
UTG ($26.50)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4, 8.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.25, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1.50) 3, 2, 5 (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets $0.5, MP3 calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2, SB folds, BB folds, UTG raises to $5, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, Hero raises to $24.75, UTG calls $19.75.

Turn: ($52) 6 (2 players)

River: ($52) 5 (2 players)

Final Pot: $52

Results in white below:
UTG has 2h 2c (full house, twos full of fives).
Hero has 4c 8c (straight flush, six high).
Outcome:
Sue me if I play too long....

 I dunno, you can't put UTG on ONLY a set, so I think I play it the same. I love gambooling with a big draw.

Correct, it was not a straight flush. The hand converter misread the 2, as I mentioned. (Wish PStars made the same error!)

We were all in on the flop. So we didn't bet any more. You can go back to bed now.

Only mistake I really see is calling with 8/4s six handed.
Never bet on a white man in the heavyweight division!

Yeah, I kinda see that. When I see 3 limpers from the button, my instinct is usually to call, almost with atc, assuming my pot odds and position are good if the blinds don't raise. Maybe a leak for me.

I would have played it the same. Depends on the table whether I limp 84s on the button though. If you are pretty sure the blinds won't raise and it's a super-aggro post flop table there is money to be made.
