Default Top 2 pair on draw heavy board ($50nl)

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $50.20
Hero (BB): $50.00
UTG: $49.15

SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $2.50</font>, UTG folds, <font color="red">MP raises to $8.00</font>, 2 folds
Hero...?

Villian is 21/17/4 over 250hands (i have him as a 2buyin winner over that time period). Im not sure how to play this flop... I tend to lead towards a 3bet, perhaps to $16, but i dont know if thats bad.
Who just calls and why?

If you just call what do you do on a safe turn? Are you trying to get the $$ in or lose the minimum?

If you 3bet, do you have to call if he 4 shoves getting 3-1?

I just call MPs raise. A low turncard i IŽll make my move, a potbet. Those hands are always har to play without read or recognizing the opponent.

that's fine once in awhile .. but on this board just SO many turn cards suck. If it's a reg that I play with a TON , maybe once in awhile I'll just call the raise and get it in on a safe turn card as more of a deception type play.

wow $28-$30 is a huge 3bet, are you just doing that as opposed to like 16 or 18 to commit yourself?

Everyone seems to like the line of 3-bet. Why not just flat call?

hate a 3bet of $16-18 .. draws still have odds to call and stack sizes are akward if a bad turn card comes.
