First few hands of the match so no reads.. I like a lead on the flop because by checking, my hand gets face up and vulnerable to barrels.. once he calls the flop, I don't see him turning any hands that I beat into a bluff.. plus I'm OOP and just drawing to a non-nut flush with bad odds.. so is this a fold OTT?

So you lead out with 88 with or without bdfd? Makes sense to have some middling hands in our cbet range that gain value by folding live outs and can be called by worse. It just seems to me like the 2nd nfd, probably not much worse, would gain more than it would lose in the majority of big pots it finds itself in. Whereas QQ without a would lose more than it would gain when stacks go in or even threaten to on this board. That is fuzzy thinking but I can't take it further right now
