Default PS60 JJ L1 - Can I fold an overpair?

1st hand and 1st time I had played with sb/bb.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

CO (t1500)
Button (t1480)
SB (t1540)
BB (t1480)
UTG (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J[[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]], J[[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]].
1 fold</font>,Hero raises to t80</font>,2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t80, 2 folds</font>, SB calls t70, BB calls t60.

Flop: (t320) 8[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]], 4[[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]], 6[[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] (4 players)</font>
SB bets t500</font>, BB raises to t1400</font>, Hero?

I don't hardly ever fold an overpair on the flop. Cram it in?

Yuck, it sucks but you have to let this go. SB leads strong and BB pushing....still with MP3 to act behind you. Cry when they flip up A8 and 99.

Such a clear fold. The sb overbets the pot and then the bb moves all in! No way in hell 1 pair is good here. Ever.

You are facing pair and str8 draw at worst, thats 9 outs twice, you will be able to find a better spot later.

I would SS them &amp; consider calling if they are both very bad, otherwise fold. You could be ahead a decent amount depending on the players.

This is really close. They are in the blinds so they could be defending wide and they can have a ton of pair/straight draw hands. Given preflop they never have QQ+. People rarely overpot sets OOP. I get it in, but am not that happy about.
