early hand

[Toe]

What would you do here? One read that CO doesnt like to fold at all.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (t1750)
SB (t1380)
BB (t2110)
UTG (t1470)
UTG+1 (t1280)
MP1 (t1070)
MP2 (t1860)
CO (t2580)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 8.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t20, 2 folds, CO calls t20, Hero calls t20, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t100) 3, 7, 5 (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets t100, CO calls t100, Hero ??

What type of tourney is this?

I like a raise preflop to about 150 there.

As played, on the flop you have tons of reasonable options depending on your reads (it's early I know). One of your ops clearly has a a better flush draw than you which means they have about a 50% shot of hitting. You can call that flop bet, hope for a safe turn card and raise the turn (dangerous since any card above an 8 is scary as hell). Or you can just tuck your tail and fold here. Or you can raise the flop to try and take it down now (doubtful) or at least get the hand heads up where it will fair much better.

I really like the 150 raise preflop then.

I considered the raise but im fairly sure CO will call as he loves to limp call raises and will likely continue to do so on the flop turn and river with one pair making any card higher than an 8 horrible for me to play. (Should I still raise even with this thinking?) I limped looking for the set or all unders, but then didnt know how to play this flop.

I think im being weak but I prefer to stick with premium hands early on.

Then just fold that flop.
