UTG opens for 3BB, BN 3! to 2.5x. Hero cold 4! AKs in SB to 4x.

BB folds, UTG jams (he is short - basically this is a call + 2BB), BN raises to some weak looking amount less than 2x. WTF?

Hero figures he has 2 overs given BN raise size, it's sooted and maybe he has FE vs the BN given the raise size so Hero jams. BN calls.

Yee haa. We spike the K and scoop!

I can't show this graphically as the hand histories from Mavens don't play nice with hand replayers I've tried online. But was playing 50nl full ring on a Maven's site.

UTG+1 ($160) raise to $2.50.
MP HERO ($50) call with 99.
CO ($140) calls.
SB calls.
BB calls.

Pot $12.50
Flop 952r.

UTG+1 leads for $7.50.
HERO calls.
CO calls.
BB calls.

Pot $42.50
Turn 952r K full rainbow.

UTG+1 checks.
I jam for $40 into $42
CO snap calls.
BB snap jams.
UTG+1 folds.
CO snap calls all in.

Me: 99
CO: 22
BB: AKo

I make unnecessary quads on the river. CO still profits in the hand.

Yeah baby! Used to being on the other side of this sh1tshow but cracked 'em for once!

Hero RFI 2.5BB in UTG with KK

LJ calls and CO 3! to 4x. Hero 4! to 4x!

HJ folds and CO jams. UGH has to be AA (90%) given my blockers to AK but I never fold KK pre! Who does? Hero calls.

Yup. Seeing the flop Hero starts chanting "Hold, hold, hold!" Hero scoops!

Hero RFI TT in LJ and gets 3 callers. Ugh

Hero flops a set on a connected board. Hero bets 1/3 pot here.

HJ 3! to 4x. Folds back around to Hero who 4! for 4x.

V 5! jams. Hero doesnt think JJ flats pre and only up against Q9s (4 combos) as Q9o is too loose pre. Plenty of FD combos as well.
Odds appear to be in Hero's favor and he calls the jam.

Hero was good and holds!

In the last hand where you have TT, I think pre-flop you could use a bigger raise given the stacks. Bringing the PFR size to 3bb in general I think is advisable when you are 100bb deep, though in this particular situation I don't see it would have gotten you any more folds. Just something to consider, when play is deep-stacked, use bigger PF raise to make those more marginal hands have to further consider if they really want to have a look at the flop.

After the flop I think you could reraise all-in instead of 3! to 3x, which, if villain just called, would leave you about one 1/2pot sized bet remaining.

The flop is so wet, even with flopped middle set there are plenty of cards you don't want to see on the turn, because you know Villain is never going to fold to your 1/2 pot sized bet, and therefore in that sense think your hand "could" use some protection.

Imagine seeing for instance a on the turn after opponent just called your flop reraise. You are pretty much forced to shove it here, or face a fold/all-in decision. While probably you're never (and neither am I) folding 2nd set in that situation, it's better to leave those nasty decisions to the villains.

Long story short, if you are committed to the hand as you were here after getting raised on your flop bet, and the pot is already around 20-25% of your stack, just blast the horn and announce the ship is departing. A set of eights surely wants a ticket to value-town.

EDIT:
I finally bought Flopzilla, and while am definitely not proficient with it, here's a range I think could both
a) given the stack sizes, call your small-ish PF raise and
b) raise your small-ish flop bet

It is at 29,3 % equity against your flopped set.
This range can almost profitably call your flop re-raise with the 29,8 % pot odds.
If you shove instead of 3! to 3x, villain needs around 44 % equity to call profitably.
