Default 88 why am I still here?

I felt very lost in this hand. Just felt like I should have been doing something more. Whether that something should have been raise or fold, I don't know. Please help me not suck.

UTG seems a solid player after about 90 hands. 26/16/1.8, straightforward with nothing too fancy. I came to the table specifically for CO: 78/1/1.0. Strangely, he bluffs a lot: his low aggression is a result of slowplaying far too often and avoiding value bets.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Mojo is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, Mojo calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (11 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Mojo bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, MP folds, CO calls, Button folds, Mojo calls.

Turn: (8.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Mojo checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Mojo calls, UTG calls.

River: (11.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Mojo checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Mojo calls, UTG folds.

Final Pot: 13.50 BB

if you are checking this flop you should be intending to checkraise to get more money in and leading the turn with the probable best hand.

his low aggression factor is due to him playing every hand. you're nuts if you think you should fold anywhere. I'd 3-bet the flop or lead the turn

88 OOP the whole hand after a UTG raise and 3 coldcallers? How will 3 betting help you at all?

I'd 3-bet the flop

The 3-bet is pretty marginal preflop.

I either 3-bet the flop or stop and go.

Having played the way you did, you have to checkraise the turn.
