Pre: Standard

Flop: Can't fold here

Turn: Would you call a second barrel here? It's "only" 1/2 pot. Didn't plan on calling down 3 streets. But calling even 2 might be too loose here.
After all UTG has a strong linear range with all the larger pockets. But also some smaller pockets, overcards, and FD+BD FD.

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 2.5 BB, fold

I've done this vs aggro types overplaying AK, AQ and I've been clobbered by overpairs.

for the price, I want to see a river, and if it is a brick I'll call then too.

I'd really like to hear from the experts on this one, though...
Predictions:
:diamond:  Some will say fold pre:
:diamond:  Some will advocate x/r flop

Any info on villain would be interesting as well, but folding pre-flop would be out of the question with 88. 3betting would be a idea, but I don't like to play a big pot out of position. If villain 4bets you need to fold and you get decent odds to hit a set.

Turn play is villain depended as well, but with only 1 over card on this board a call isn't to crazy, but if you face another Cbet on river you have most of the time a hard time.

Cheers,
