PF Question: BB w/ 88, comes back to me 3-bet...

Is this an easy call? Table is a pretty wild 2/4 Party table on Saturday night. However..

UTG is 6/6 after 30 hands, and not enough hands to get a good PF read on him.

UTG+2 is a 60/5 calling station.

MP2 is had only about 10 and was 10/10/2.6

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG raises, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls, 1 fold, MP2 3-bets, 4 folded to me..., Hero?

For me it is.

I'd probably fold everything but QQ against players with these stats in this situation.

isn't it estimated you need like 5:1 to call profitably? you're getting 1:4 now, if UTG calls and UTG+2 call, getting 6:1. easy call here (pray it doesn't get capped).

I believe it's 7:1 to spike a set on the flop, but since you could still lose with a set you need more like 9:1 to call. I doubt you're going to win with just a pair of eights. It's two bets to you so you would need to win at least an 18 sb pot. Question is, can you make up the difference by the river?
