88 Deep in $22r- Tough PF and Flop decision

[tedtodd]

Instinct is to push PF over the limpers...but the UTG limper froze me a bit. Figured I could find some better opportunities.

On the flop...tempting to lead- but not into so many players. MP1's pot size bet is SO sketchy on that board...anyone think this is a good spot for me to check/raise?

UTG is 20/11
MP1 is new to table
BB has seen me push over him a lot, probably 3 rotations in a row before I doubled.

I think MP1's queen hands would have raised that UTG limper, and I'm inclined to put him on a PP lower than QQ.

He wants to know if that queen beat him or not, hence the pot sized bet. I think he'd bet less if he wants you seeing another card with a 4 or 6 paired.

I think calling would induce a bet on the turn, which is no good for you.

Check/Raise is definitely a viable option.
