Preflop looks OK.

Flop I would cbet as you did but maybe for a full pot size (to make them fold so I can take the pot here OR to make flush draws at least pay dearly for the card) and if I get called then slow down since getting calls here is fishy and TPGK is not very convincing hand really.

So I bet 0.5 (pot) on the flop, 0.5 (half pot) on the turn and nothing on the river since by then I am not too happy and by then missed draws and not calling me anymore, just better hands.

Other option is to bet half pot on the flop to keep it small with a small hand (pot control). This allows for easier flush draws though.

P.S. Keep in mind this is beginner level thinking

Maybe bet a little more on the flop and turn. Def calling river, its not a huge bet and the FD just missed.

Wow you're calling? I thought the check/call, check/call, lead line was something to beware of at the micros?

If he potted the river I would fold but we don't have reason to credit him with a hand. Against an unknown I call. 8T is the only hand that changed on the river. 2 pair is likely to raise us on a prev street.
