Too Weak?

[Guy Incognito]

Can I find a raise anywhere?

Also not sure about the preflop call, but I tend to be weak defending the BB.

No real reads.

I generally underdefend my blinds, but I'm definitely not calling with the Q8o. The two other callers indicate that others have decent hands, and even if you do hit a hand, (which you did), it's very difficult to know where you are.

Given the preflop call, I think you have to bet out on the flop, just so you have SOME indication of where your hand stands. With the flop call, you've pretty well cornered yourself into folding or calling down the entire way, which isn't a great situation here.

I dont think this counts as Defending the Blind. If you are going to play it you can cr the flop, and then decide from there what to do.
