Default 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls

These spots confuse me, especially vs lp's. Is this a standard fold?

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls, MP calls, CO folds, <font color="#FF0000">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, MP calls.

Flop: (8.40 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>

yeah I would probably fold, if you're behind here your drawing to two outs, and if you catch one of your outs and someone is betting/calling with a straight draw here you might lose money if you hit it. In this spot I usually assume UTG has a Q and the MP is on either a straight or flush draw and even if I'm ahead at this point They both probably have redraws out the ass.

With two backdoor draws and the possibility that you are ahead of UTG and MP, getting 10.5-1 I wouldn't fold. I would consider calling or raising, not sure which.

Backdoor flush? I'm thinking if I actually hit the 8 high would not hold up. I have one player to act behind who will most likely call whether or not I call. Seems like I have 3 outs at best.

But I will get redrawn so I don't have implied odds and I supposedly need to be getting about 14-1 odds to call. UTG is betting into 3 people, I doubt its a semi bluff.

Like Oink said in another post of mine, I think I have some big flaws in my game. Most of the time I want to keep going in a hand I'm told to fold and when I seem to be looking for folds everyone else is looking for calls or raises!

you didn't provide any reads but people play all sorts of crap like this. straight draws, flush draws, middle/bottom pair, even stuff like ace high

the pot is pretty big you can't bail on it with a hand this strong without a good reason
