Default Limp raise 88 from UTG?

party 15/30 I'm dealt 88 UTG.
I limp, it's folded to the cutoff who raises.
Cutoff is 26/12/2
Blinds fold...

What do you think of 3betting villan in this spot?

do you have any reads? I think its terrible because you are forced to call/down when you miss your set and an Ace flops?

Depends on your player. If he's one of those types that will call you down no matter what then prob not. I like reraising here because it tells your opponent you have AA or KK because nobody does this play w/ any other hands. If he thinks like this... putting you on AA or KK and can fold if he misses the flop or maybe even if he makes a marginal pair then I say do it. Especially if you've done this play w/ AA or KK earlier. Then play your 88 like AA on the flop by reraising if he raises you etc... BUT only do this if you think the player is good enough to lay a hand down post flop.

raise preflop.

given you didn't and its another bet back to you, i prefer having position on the flop.
