3-bet from the BB after a limp.

[FoolyCooly]

button constantly raised in this spot after a limp...figured it was a good spot to steal...not even sure. My main question is about UTGs raise. Am I getting correct odds to call if he's going to stack off to me on a flop like this?

with utg having already limped this is not a good spot to steal, and you may end up OOP with a speculative hand. Fold preflop, or flat call if you must.

No to your second question, with utg's terribly small stack your implied odds are terrible.
