Bad preflopfold???
I have no read on my oponents.
I open-raises utg+1 with 88. Button reraises and small blind caps. I fold.
Flop: [ 5d, 2c, 8c ]
SB bets, button reraises, sb 3-bet and button call.
Turn: [ Ah ]
SB checks, button bets, sb calls.
River: [ Th ]
SB checks, button bets, sb calls.
Button shows [ Ad, Jh ] a pair of aces. And wins 12.5 BB
SB shows [ Kc, Kh ] a pair of kings.

Interesting to raise out of position into unknown opponents with a hand that is easily dominated by Q 10 offsuit...
I guess the obvious answer to your question is: If you are going to raise with 88 then you have to play it at least to the flop if not farther.
not much... unless somhow you know that you would flop a set then i would consider this a bit reckless. seriouslly though i always wonder why people show the outcomes to decisions like this when deep down you already know that the short term results dont really matter in a spot like this. i think that you were getting 5-1 on your call so maybe its an either or decsion. and the implied odds are probably there when you do hit a set.

Huh??? Every post in this thread is horrible thus far. Including mine. I hope that my response is the last one.

After a button call, there is 11 SB in the pot. With implied odds I think you can put in 2 more SB just to play for the set (and possibly some miracle straight draw). You just need to be able to collect (on avarage - including the times you lose) ~5 SB extra when you hit.

It's pretty standard on these forums to raise 77+ UTG, not to mention 88 UTG+1.
To the OP, I think the fold was not bad, but a call isn't bad either (I would personally call). You seem to be a little too results-oriented because you would've flopped the set. Ignoring the post-flop stuff, if you raised UTG+1 with 88 for some number of hands, and each time, it was capped behind you by similar opponents, would you call?
