Playing this for 2 bets for simply set value is -ev in long run, simple game theory. OP stated that in this particular game the players behind have no problem calling 3 cold.

what in god's name are you talking about?

The exact number of ppl left to act matters. Assuming it's 3 or more, I'd coldcall 88, but 3b TT+. If I were in HJ, maybe 3b 99+, and if I'm in CO or button, I'd 3b 88+. No great reasoning behind it, except the general idea that ppl are more willing to call 2 than 3 and the chances a monster is out behind us and we don't get the "button" decreases the fewer players behind us left to act.
