Getting into this hand, I was playing my 88 with intent to set like a good little FTR'r, but then the flop came down mostly rags. The original raiser and playznutz seemed very aggro, mafman was a bit loose, playznutz was reasonably tight. The other two players wern't into many pots (bad cards, rocks maybe).

I was thinking that I should take a stab on the flop, as there was a good chance that no one hit with their high cards. I know mafman and playznutz probably didn't have much except for a couple of overcards, but didn't have any idea what the others were holding.

I ended up checking/folding though, because I thought at *least* one person would have come along for the ride and I didn't really like the prospects of a flush hitting or an overcard falling.

Would you take a stab at the pot in this situation? I was probably perceived to be reasonably TAggy.
