Default $20r- 88 in the BB facing UTG Raise Who\'s 20+bbs deep

Villain was just moved to the table a couple of hands before this one. No reads.

I've had issues overplaying 77-99/AQ lately and would like some help on this hand step-by-step. Thanks.

800/1600 Blinds
50 Ante

Seat 1: UTG+1 (17835 in chips)
Seat 2: MP1 (46507 in chips)
Seat 3: MP2 (27860 in chips)
Seat 4: MP3 (6320 in chips)
Seat 5: CO (30085 in chips)
Seat 6: Button (22148 in chips)
Seat 7: SB (38214 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero (28764 in chips)
Seat 9: UTG (17612 in chips)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Doub13GuTTed [8s 8c]
UTG raises 1205 to 2005
Folds to Hero in the BB...

Call. If you don't hit your set, check/fold.

Did you mean 400/800 blinds?

I'd call, but I'm not necessarily c/f on the flop (remember the majority of his range is unpaired high cards.) Just play poker on the flop, you're deep enough to have some room to maneuver. I'd also argue that if you're folding every time you don't flop a set you won't get paid off enough to make the PF call profitable.

Yes, I did. Sorry.

Multitable posting FTW!!!

Anywho, I took a flop.

*** FLOP *** [Js 2c 5s]

Hero? About 4800 in the pot and 15k+ behind Villian.

I think you're both deep enough to justify a call. I'd lead out about half the pot on that flop and find out where I'm at. If UTG play, I'd probably check/fold unless hit the miracle 8.

Other than flopping a set or a draw, this is a good flop for us rite? Lead for about 3200 and see what happens. I don't see C/R as an option here just because you commit yourself to calling a 4-bet when you'd clearly be behind.
If Villain is the type of player that would slow down if he's called on the flop than a C/C maybe worth it, But I want to know where I'm at in the hand.
