    You don't have much information, but the bet doesn't make a lot of sense, unless he's got trip 8's. I think I'd call it.
    I think with such little info going to the flop you could risk check-raising to give you a better idea where you are it.

    Edit:

    Well... with his stack I change my thoughts. I'd say either a set or a flush draw or AK.

    What does a person limp pre-flop with from UTG +1 and he has an M of ~11? He's not in desperation mode just yet so I wouldn't put him on a monster unless he has proven to limp monsters previously. You just sat down so you don't know. I would say scs or pp. I would think that most would raise 77, 88, and 99 when the blinds are this high. Although weak players may open limp here. He would be pretty dumb to slow play a set on the flop or hit his set on the turn and push all in. I would most likely see TJ here and he's pushing the str8 or he made a mistake with a flush draw and his trying to push you out. If he's on the flush draw, a reraise or push on the flop would have been his best bet since he has two cards to catch.

    With two pair on a coordinated flop, you have to bet a little more than that. This is the danger of playing connectors when you hit 2 pair. The signs say you're beat, but if you call and lose, you're not dead and you can push your way back up the ladder. Your only hope is to fill-up on the river.

    JJ-AA and he's suddenly got scared of slowplaying?

    Call. 2 pair is too good of a hand to fold here.

    Looks to me like he was slowplaying a big hand on the flop and is now that three-to-the-straight show he is pushing to avoid giving you odds to draw out on him. I probably fold.

    EDIT: Re-thinking it, if he was slowplaying a "big hand", it might have been an overpair. Add in the chance that he wasn't slowplaying a monster and didn't hit a straight on the turn, and a call is more reasonable than I was thinking. I still think I lean towards folding.
