Default 200nl: Too much action for top set?

I was playing at my parents house, so I didn't have PokerAHUD running, but I play with the BB and MP2 often and can guestimate. I'm playing TAG. This is not a standard PF raise in EP for me.

BB: 25/15/2
MP2: 35/20/2
B: unknown

Stacks (estimates):

Hero: $300
BB: $450
MP2: $200
B: $250

1/2 nl on Full Tilt, 9 handed average game

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, Hero raises to $8, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $8, 2 folds, B calls $8, SB folds, BB calls $8.

Flop: ($25)
9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB checks, Hero bets $20, MP2 calls $20, B calls $20, BB raises to $80, Hero...

Call ....

Stack sizes might help... but I think I call this raise and call a push or open push a non-club or 7 turn

Sorry, I added the stack sizes. I don't have poker tracker at my parent's (I can only play on a MAC there), so these are estimates. I only remember stacks for the people in the hand.

with two people sandwiched in between you and the BB and with the drawiness of the flop i dont see how you can just call the BB's raise. BB can easily have a set, pair+draw or a combo draw. and obv you're not in terrible shape against a straight or flush. pretty easy push imo.

also, i think this is a pretty clear push or fold spot given the presence of the other two ppl still in the hand.

folding is just shocking imo, we have the current odds to call anything right now regardless of action. amirite?

I like vavavoom's line.
I call the BB's raise because I want to keep the other guys in a pot where I have at least 30% equity and because reraising here might leaves us with the only guy that has us beat.
