Cooler OR Punt
This is my first post on this site so I'm not so sure if I'm posting in the correct format.
I'm a pretty newbie poker player. 2 Months into poker and only started online cash last week. With this hand, I think V is going to stack me regardless, but maybe that's not the case? Solver says 88 is a mix between b33 and check on the turn but is jamming that bad given the SPR?

Format is good.
I don’t like turn shove
Raise flop... ya, jamming turn isn't great. There's only a narrow range that's calling at that point. You want to keep as much of your opponent's second best range in as possible.
It’s a cooler. Once you get the set over set flop, it is pretty likely all the money is going in one way or another. As others have said the turn jam is probably bad. I don’t know about the PF 3 bet; medium and small pocket pairs play well multi-way and you are getting far better implied odds to set mine by just flatting the UTG open. The three bet probably isn’t too bad though (and I may be wrong too).
jamming the turn is probably the worst option by a good margin. You don't really get called by worse, unless they have some crazy draw or Ad and don't want to fold.
Fold pre. This is a marginal 0ev raise @ 50nl rake let alone 2nl.
