Default $55: Overpair in level 1

Do you lead the flop here? Do you like a checkraise all-in? Just curious as to what people's "standard" play is.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

MP1 (t1000)
MP2 (t1000)
MP3 (t1000)
CO (t1000)
Button (t1030)
SB (t985)
BB (t1000)
UTG (t1000)
Hero (t1000)
UTG+2 (t985)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t15, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises to t75</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t75, CO calls t75, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t60.

Flop: (t322.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>

I fold here. I have to give some respect to an EP raise pre-flop.

Plus, if you put him on an A and another overcard, he has an inside straight draw as well. He's about 40% to outdraw you in that scenario. Reduces both your FE and your chances of winning, in one of the best scenarios for you. And you could very easily be way behind.

I am a fan of folding this preflop after the raise. Or raise instead of open limp.

Both of those lines I like better than the way you played it.

Limp fold I like to do early to set up the limp/rr later.

QFT

And for what it's worth. If I happened to misclick and/or make a terrible play and see the flop after that raise, I'd still check/fold.

Yugo,

You are my boy, but folding 88 getting 5:1 for just over 5% of your stack in a multi way pot is a HUGE leak.

Love,
Beef

Sorry, but we've been over this.

Most players won't pull out enough $$ post flop with this hand here to make it worth it even though it's only 6% of your stack.

BTW Deuce: What does QFT mean?!?!

His flop bet seems very weak for such a strong preflop raise. I think I fold this preflop but since you called, I raise here after putting him on AK or AQ.
