$10 NLHE Full Ring: bet and a raise 3-handed. 4bet?

Was this the right play? I figured i'd be all in with the shorter stack no matter what. However, the bigger stack I'd be afraid to get it all in as it would look like a straight?

Sorry BB was 24/17/unlimited 70 hands. UTG was 21/6/2.6 99 hands.

Raise is good. Such a drawy board that he likely can't fold overpairs (and shouldn't imo) so get it in now before a "scary" card hits and he shuts down. As for the 3bet size, I like bigger (~$7.50).

Absolutely bet a lot bigger to try to get the money in on the turn. If he has a straight so what ? You're 37% vs a straight and crush everything else except 98d

I would raise in your position because your on the cutoff(not sure). The better you hand is in the late position so i would raise.

This is wrong. He's not calling a 3bet with everything he opened. Raising turns 88 into a 3-bet bluff, and although it's probably +EV vs. someone that folds a good amount to 3bets, so is 72o. But 88 is a better hand that should get more value. You should make more by calling here, and not just to set mine.

i would 3 bet, so draw heavy board i just can't call vs 2 guys. if the board is no so draw heavy i check to set mine. and the 3 bet should be bigger indeed.
