This hand just had me conused a bit, tell me what you think. Alright, I'm in late position with 88. 3 limpers in front of me, I limp, button folds, SB calls, BB raises. Everyone calls. I dont have a good read on the BB. So, 6 players for 2 bets each see the flop.

Flop: 9, 8, 7 rainbow

BB bets, UTG folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, I raise, SB folds, BB 3-bets, all fold, I call. Its just me and the BB to the turn

Turn: 10, completing the rainbow.

BB bets, I call.

River: Q

He bets and I call expecting him to lose to his JJ or TT. I couldnt see him playing AJ this strongly. Anyway, he shows down AQo and I take down the pot.
Heres my question: should I ever fold this hand on the river against a solid player whose shown so much aggression?

Probably not for one bet. You have to remember that anytime the board is highly coordinated, you might also be getting action from two pair.
