Thats what is so great about this situation though: you aren't playing a marginal situation post flop. If there isn't an 8 on the flop you know you're not good.

You don't necessarily know this.

no but you can assume you are behind enough that you are still usually just playing this for set value. It is ok to fold with the best hand in this situation, but I think mike is right that b/f to a check works sometimes, though i use it sparingly and this could be profitable w/o this move, especially if you are deep and UTG has trouble folding overpairs
