Bet 300 on the flop. There are a lot of possible draws out there. The only possible hand that beats u here is 89s. It unlikely that MP3 limps AK preflop.

On the turn I would bet ~800 and fold to a raise. I don't like ur checkraise here. You pay out better hands and get less payout by worse hands. As played i would probably fold the turn.

No. Although I hadn't noted that the 8 completes draws too when I posted. So, assuming that the turn is blank, I like check-shoving there a lot.

I would just reraise the flop. You're out of position and you hate too many turns.

Because you're only behind one reasonable hand on the flop -open limping TT-QQ and AK with his stack would seem weird - so it appears he has exactly 98 or he's getting aggro with a draw. Check-shove in these situations seems a good line. Berate if he did open limp TT-QQ or AK pf and get annoyed if he has 99.
