I'm weak - 88 with Q on flop

Do you just give up on this hand OOP, and maybe play it stronger in position?

Yes.

Folding here (on the flop) is not a leak because you will make that money back on a similar hand where you have position and force villain to fold his marginal hand. If this hand were heads-up, I might call the flop and lead a favorable turn card, but I give him credit here for his c/b with 3-way action.

my thoughts exactly, i wish i could have annunciated them so well.
