say you have in a limped 5-way pot and the flop is . for EP and LP what are your plans for this hand? do you bet it if no one has yet? what if SB (You have no read on SB) pots the flop and everyone folds to you on the button?
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

Who is SB? Is he capable of betting top pair, Ace of clubs, or any 2 or 6 OOP in this spot? Start putting the bettor on a range. That's how you decide your edges. It's never a generic "situation". If you're going to committ money to a pot in a spot like this, you want the villains range to be wide and loose enough to pay you off enough times to profit.

It's not whether you have the 88 overpair. It's whether your 2 random cards are ahead of his action range. All that being said, it's hard to find a range you're ahead of here, against typical opponents. This is often two pair, a flopped straight, or a low made flush.

The tougher the situation, the more information you need to consider. If you don't have that information, you lose money by correctly folding too often out of information ignorance.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
