My thoughts were that I should keep the pot small with suited connectors and hopefully get more limpers, so if I needed to draw out, I would be able to get better implied odds for doing so.Is my thinking wrong in this respect?

So I have been playing poker for a number of years, but lately, I am trying to work on improving my game more. It's tricky situations like this where I am uncertain about what I should have done, if I played it correctly, etc. What should I have done differently here, if anything?Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (7 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comCO ($2.06)Button ($3.81)SB ($3.12)BB ($6.54)UTG ($1.20)MP1 ($2)Hero (MP2) ($4.95)Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8, 9UTG calls $0.05, MP1 checks, Hero calls $0.05, 2 folds, SB calls $0.03, BB checksFlop: ($0.25) 8, J, 8(5 player
