No cbet here because of the board and the shortstack?

I check that flop w 2 callers PF. Odds are your easily beaten. I fold it to any agression. With a hand like 8 8 I am either trying to get it heads up pre flop or playing it for set value on the flop. In a multiway pot with higher scare cards on the board 8 8 is almost never good. Especially with a short stack who you know is calling you all in on this hand and usually has some kind of overs.
