I would probably just fold here. I think it's a borderline hand that could easily be up against 2 outs. I love making the move with eights here but calling with it seems fishy. You are HOPING for AK or AQ.

When you make this raise...you should do it knowing that you are calling all-ins from all the sub-6k stacks. This shouldn't be a decision. It should be pre-planned.

How low of a pp do you raise UTG in that situation?

Probably 66. It's not an awesome spot to open-raise...you get reraised fairly frequently.

You are getting 2.5-1 pot odds. There is not a great enough chance of a higher pp to think about folding.

Initially, this could be a raise, limp, or fold.
