nazahl do you think a decent tag plays an overpair like this ever? referring to utg.

he could have 99, TT, JJ here pretty easily imo, I wouldnt think an 8x is that likely but definitely not impossible getting the odds he is vs. a minraise and coldcaller.

I don't see why you'd do anything but call.

Preflop seemed awful for some reason. Am I deep enough to set mine for 2 bets PF while not even insuring I will see a flop at all?

Is this a good spot to squeeze given game dynamics and stack sizes?

Am I ever getting called by worse if I raise the flop?

Is calling the flop bet just bleeding off given that I hate every card above 8 and can't even be sure I am ahead as of now?

Bleh.....

Never raise flop, I think CO's most likely holding is a pocket pair but there could be some other hands in his range as well obviously, anyways, id call a 2/3 psb on flop and re-eval, if u were oop it could be a muck but in position - I think it will be easier to check it down/get an idea of where ur at. If he fires again and u dont fill up id fold. BTW, I think pf is fine with position on fish, likelihood on it beeing multiway (dont forget blinds) and the fact that the fish could easily have a big PP which is felting the flop if u hit a set.

I don't see any problem with just calling the flop in POS b/c CO could still be playing very straightforward, not bluffing when overcards come out, and could be betting worse right now.
