Sorry for format of the hand. Was I correct to fold 88 or once I've raised should I have continued with it?

Nice hand!
Why do you think you might have been wrong? Maybe you think a bit to result oriented...

Cheers, thought it was an ok fold but was still pretty gutted to hit quads and would have been top few in the tournament so was just checking that it wsa right. Thanks for the input.

You can not EVER be result oriented in poker it will lose you a lot of money. You do not determine what cards hit the flop, you have no way of controlling it. All you can do is make the best decisions from the information you have on the players at the table and your perceived table image if your opposition even thinks that far.

Cards will fall wherever they want regardless of your decisions. Remember that and you will tilt way less and not wonder about what could have/should have been, reality is evidently that it did NOT happen so just move on to the next hand ;)
