Ok all it is was a lot of good hands, THINKING they were the best clashing and ended up losing all their chips.

At that level, I am really surprised that hope827 went all in with a gut shot str8 draw. Builder flat called your raise with his tens and hit the boat on the flop, which gave you and Manric high kicking trips, nothing you can do there you are going to lose your money on that one.

The main reason I do not play .25/.50 is due to a str8 chaser who caught it on the river. I was all in with trips and he called on the flop and hit a runner runner to take my stack.

Well, for starters...what were you doing raising pre-flop, K8o is not a good hand and it definetly is not a raising hand and especially when your BB and could have seen the flop for free - K8o is not even a group 8 hand and is recommended to not even play it...after the flop, well your sucked in...but even with Manric's raise to $10, you have to suspect that something was up then when hope goes to $26 and Manric comes back to $58...why did you go over top again?...you had to know that they wern't playing around with 4, 2 offsuit!...yes you had tripp 8's...but with all that going on in a .25/.50 game I would have suspected that someone flopped tens full, which Builder05 did flop.

that raise was suicidal. K8 is a hand you need to be ready to fold - you got lucky this time but if you played like that every round youd go broke

Got lucky? He DID go broke fonz.....not only that, he had the 4th best hand. That is an awful lot of money for a .25/50 game

I was wondering why he pre-flopped raised with K8 as well with others in the pot and ESPECIALLY since he was BB.

I normally reraise pre flop. I'm a mucker. I raise because 4 people called. I don't care if I lose really. My issues is that the 4 hands were good. Even If i hadn't raise and saw the flop. It was a really good flop for the three of us.... and I called. Oh well of all the odds it had to hit me.
