$10 rebuy on stars, this hand just happened a minute ago. Read on BB is that he's very aggressive but not crazy. At first it seems like I should definitely call this, but I'm worried that if I just call MP2 can come over the top if he has a big pair. Seems kind of crazy to risk my whole stack here with an isolation play too.

Flop: 3 8 6 (t6825, 4 players)
BB is all-in t6425, Hero?

If we had last action, I'd call but with two to act behind me, I'd have to fold.

The call preflop is sort of loose also - I don't like to call raises OOP with a hand like KJs without last action so I'd probably fold preflop

I was planning to fold until BB called, but when he called I figured I was deep enough to try to hit a big flop in a multiway pot. Probably a leak.

Absolutely HATE preflop, definitely a leak. You don't close the action here, you have to muck.

Only reason I don't like pre-flop is because you limped/called from UTG with an easily dominated hand. If you were going to play this hand pre-flop, I would bring it in for a raise, and fold to a re-raise.
