Bad beat or bad playing? Also on reviewing hands.

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02 (6 Players) UTG: $2.38
MP: $1.70
CO: $0.51 (Hero)
BN: $4.21
SB: $1.63
BB: $4.74
Preflop ($0.03) Hero is CO with 8 8
UTG folds, MP calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, BN folds, SB calls $0.01, BB checks
MP limped before me, I just limped behind because my hand is not at the top of my range. Maybe I should have raised?
Flop ($0.08) K 8 K
SB checks, BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets $0.04, SB folds, BB calls $0.04, MP folds
C-Bet 1/2 for value as I flopped a full house
Turn ($0.16) K 8 K T
BB checks, Hero bets $0.20, BB calls $0.20
He checks, I double barrel with an overbet. I didn't think the T was a game-changer or uncapped his range enough, and with the near nuts, it made sense to either gain more value or get him to fold.
River ($0.56) K 8 K T 7
BB bets $0.27, Hero calls $0.25 and is all in
Looking back this is the mistake, but at the same time it does not feel right to fold my hand.
Final Pot CO lost and shows a full house, Eights full of Kings.
BB wins and shows a full house, Kings full of Sevens.
BB wins $1.02
Rake is $0.04

So I am not sure if this was just a bad beat but well played, or I just fish-ed it.

Also, I review my hands using Equilab (that's the software I have), and I find that many hands I lose, like this one, I have the equity advantage (my hand post-flop never goes under 90% equity), but then again I lose. So I assume I am not playing bad poker, but then these kinds of hands happen. More advice on how to review hands?

Any feedback appreciated! I have barely over 2k hands under my belt, so certainly a lot to learn (although I hope not to lose too much money in the process)
