Default 88 - Is this easy fold?

Hi

Is this always an easy fold? Or with the staight draw too do I call?

Or reraise to semi bluff?

My normal play would be fold here.....but is that too weak?

Hero ($18.60)
Button ($17.75)
SB ($50.55)
BB ($21.90)
UTG ($23.85)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $1.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.75.

Just fold. Not worth it.

It's generally a fold. There are lots of scare cards to bluff at, although i would raise on the turn, and bet the river more than reraise flop.

I would fold it. You listed no stats on the player so I will asume he is not 3betting too light. If he hit any of those 3 cards, which he probably did, you are behind, and if he holds a K your straight draw does not exist.

instafold.. don't draw to the dummy end of the straight especially if it is an inside. You are only drawing to at most 6 outs or maybe 2.
