Final table of 18man 6max, top 4 get paid
UTG 36/15 3bet 7.4% - 88 hands
MP 33/24 3bet 10.5% - 128 hands

MP had been pretty active, after he throws out a big raise what is the best option here? I didnt like calling to set mine OOP against an active player, I'm too deep to shove so I that leaves 3betting or folding, I took the tight approach but should I be 3betting here?

I would fold here as well without any reads he raised always 5x with 1 limper in the pot.
No need to blow up the pot with a hand like 88 and it’s difficult to continue the hand if you missed you’re set.
