Re: Noob - 1st hand post - pocked 8\'s
The UTG limp is ungood, unless you are absolutely certain you will get multiple limpers and no raise PF. I refer you to the PF section in SSHE regarding middle pocket pairs. IIRC, it says something to the effect that mid-pocket pairs either play well against a very small field (in which you are more likely win unimproved) or a large field for set value.
Also, fold the flop. You have nowhere near the equity to continue particularly with two left to act behind you including the preflop raiser.
