I'm holding 88 in a live 40-80 game in EP. UTG folds, I raise, all fold to cutoff who calls and everyone else folds. Cutoff is a good player that is somewhat decent postflop.

Flop is A-9-2. I bet, he calls.

Turn is a 7. I bet, he calls.

River is 5.

What's my plan now?

Thanks

WRT to your Q, easy check/fold on the river.
