88 flops overpair

2/4 Titan poker, plays a bit tighter than Party 2/4.

BB opened with AJo in LP, called a BB 3 bet and raised a 3 flush flop with just the J of that suit. Another time she checked all 3 streets HU IP against a PFRer, didn't bluff.

Couple limpers, one tightish from EP, I limp in CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (I know, raise), folded to BB who checks.

Flop 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB bets, EP folds, LPP calls, I raise, BB 3 bets, LPP folds, I call.

Turn 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5.5BB

BB bets, I call.

River 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7.5BB

BB bets, I???

fold and maybe even consider folding the turn. What is he 3 betting with on the flop that he is not crushing us with on the turn? 77 or 88 are you only chances and you do the math on those. I think he has 2 pair, trips or a straight enough here that folding is fine. Plus the pot is not that big even with the 3 bet on the flop.

river is an easy call. you may not always win, but enough that you have to call. if you are going to fold u have to do it earlier.

Raise the turn.

He can have 24, some flushdraw, maybe even something like 55.

I believe raising the turn (and folding to a 3 bet) is best here, like rmarotti said.

Edit: Does anyone else raise this preflop in the CO if there are two tightish limpers?

Yah, the OP said ignore PF though.

Well, obviously you don't fold here, so what's your question? I cap the flop.

I think, you should fold the turn bet with 88 as you should with AA. A two pair hand, consisting of your pocket pair and 66 will not win this hand. BB has either trips or a straight.
