Call, you maybe be up against a straight but have the implied odds to call
Call, you're confident that you're ahead of the big blind but don't have a read on the button
Raise, isolate the bb since he missed the flush draw on the turn
Raise, its likely you're ahead and should protect your hand by raising
Fold, its unlikely your hand is best at this point
Fold, you might have the best hand but there are many hands that dominate you

1. 88

2. Raise all in
(massive draw, lots of money already in, isnt that what you want?)

3. Raise all in
(it is only a pot sized raise now with your set)

4. Bad flop, bet
(but a good flop if he has a pocket pair, which is also likely)

5. All in
(you are too short stacked just to call)

6.19
(3- 5s, 3 -3s, 4 -4s, 9 -hearts, i cant see anymore)

7.Put in a 3-bet since your out of position and need to protect your hand
(i am a nit) <--- [Edit] can you tell this is the only answer I didnt like myself?

8. Call
(Flush draw and overs, he would most likely not raise all in with a set.)

9.Call and only play if you flop the set
Call and lead out on a low flop
(I would do either in certain situations)

10.Fold, its unlikely your hand is best at this point

Well that was fun, how many did I miss?

Didn't read those all, the answers where easy given that you had used the blue font. I just wanted to comment on that one just a little bit. BB makes a pot-sized check-raise. I would never fold a straight flush draw on that. The table in this case is ulrta-aggressive, so the check-raise could easily be even something AT, for example. You have 15 outs there, 6 outs to nut straight, 9 outs to the flush which most likely is also the winning hand. I haven't folded a straight flush draw once in my life, and I never will. Even without the straight flush, the straight would be the nuts, and the flush probably also a winning hand. I like those odds.

A 15-out draw on the flop hits 54.12% of the time, turn and river combined.
