88 folded on 67T flop

[MortalNuts]

I'm at a fairly loose (40% seeing flop) 0.25/0.5 table at Stars. UTG+2 and LMP in the following hand have both struck me during this session as fairly solid -- a bit too loose PF, but reasonable. I have no read on the remaining players.

UTG, I'm dealt 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and limp in. UTG+2 limps, LMP raises. SB and BB call two cold, I call, UTG2 calls. 5 to the flop.

Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Blinds check, I bet out. UTG2 raises, LMP 3-bets, it's folded back to me. I fold.

Comments? I'm not crazy about my betting out on the flop, given the PF action -- takes on the best strategy here? In the heat of battle, I thought it was a reasonable bet to find out where I stood.

For what it's worth, I thought there was a reasonable chance of UTG2 capping the betting after I acted.
