Default 88, horrid horrid play?

I didnt feel too good about this hand. How could I have played it better. Plz take a look and comment, much appreciated!

Not very good stats on them but better then nothing I guess..

CO = 63/0/2.0 over only 8hands
Button = 20/0/1.0 over 5hands

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls, Button calls.

I hate anything "standard" when playing poker. I hate calling down too &amp; I'm not folding this hand very often without super_online_read.

I didnt like calling down either. So you would suggest check-raising on the turn? What if Button calls behind CO.. Also, is it an easy fold if I get 3Bet?

Not an easy fold. If there are 2 people calling it is easier to fold because you figure one of them to have you beat. HU I doubt I would fold here. I think you will find a lot of hands like A10, AJ, &amp; small PP's raising this flop.

I like your line. You played it fine.

Sometimes i bet out instead of c/c'ing turn if the flop raiser is aggro but you had no reads.

Ask yourself this: do you think more than the ~5% of decent players playing online would lead into the PFR with top set? Of course they don't. They are typical online players who can only think about trapping on a later street for more bets. Thus you should be ahead a great majority of the time to the hands I suggested &amp; making your raise on the turn charges the donk-better the max. Donk better is not folding to a raise on the flop so I don't raise the flop here.

Calling down here sucks. You are either WA/WB. Make a move and don't wet your panties worrying about whether someone has a 9.
