Re: ($27) Raise size question
With a bet and 3 calls on this flop, I think a push is in order. You really need to put in a strong raise with this board and 3 other people in the hand, who apparently like what they're holding. A pot sized raise is about half your chips, so just stick it all in there. If you start dinking around with small (less than pot sized) raises, you're giving the players on draws great implied odds to hit their straight or flush against you, as you won't be able to get away from a pot that's >2x your remaining chips with a set. I think you'll be surprised how often you get called in this spot as well.
And FWIW, I think the preflop call is standard.
