In terms of the hand analysis, Marvinsytan played it pretty well up until the river. The preflop raise with pocket eights was standard, and calling the 3-bet from the button with position was also reasonable.
On the flop, Marvinsytan made a good decision to check and see what the aggressor, Tozsy17, would do. When Tozsy17 checked back, Marvinsytan could have bet for value, but checking back and keeping the pot small was also fine.
On the turn, Marvinsytan made a small bet for value, which was called by Tozsy17. Again, this was a reasonable play.
The mistake came on the river, where Marvinsytan checked and then called Tozsy17's all-in bet. With just two pairs and a flush on the board, it was unlikely that Marvinsytan had the best hand. It would have been better for Marvinsytan to fold, especially since Tozsy17 was representing a very strong hand with the all-in bet.
Overall, though, it's important to remember that poker is a game of ups and downs. Everyone makes mistakes, even the best players in the world. The key is to learn from those mistakes and keep improving your game. Good luck at the tables!"
