Preflop is def marginal, but there's very little limp-raising oop in this game so I don't mind bloating the pot otb and maintaining an aggressive image.
Average vpip was around 60% so it's not like the limpers were holding monsters either.
The flop call is very marginal, but I'm a sucker for open ended straight flush draws, especially since there's a bad beat jackpot.

Actually I thought 88/99 was his most likely holding based on action. I didn't think he would lead flop with A8/A9 since it seemed clear that he didn't have TJ to go with it (turn check) and he couldn't have had the NFD. Based on river sizing I wasn't expecting him to show up with the nuts very often. He also didn't seem too happy when I asked him how much he has left.
