Default Top Set on Flop.. Too fast?

I thought the pf raiser had an overpair, and someone could've been drawing. I didn't wanna play guessing games on the turn...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

UTG ($171.65)
MP ($200.87)
Hero ($529.8)
SB ($195)
BB ($63.15)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls $2, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $8</font>, Hero calls $8, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $6, UTG calls $6.

Flop: ($33) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $8</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $20</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $60</font>, BB folds, MP folds.

Final Pot: $121

"someone could've been drawing."

Or BB already has the straight. I think you raised too much since BB has such a small stack and is likely to be drawing. If BB hits it wont hurt you too much + it's not clear if he wont fold to MP's raise. I would not raise that much to keep MP in, but dont know the proper amount either. Best thing that could happen is: you just call, BB pushes all-in, MP calls, you push all-in... But just calling MPs raise is risky if you are not sure if BB would push a draw all-in there...

BB could already have the straight? Then why did he fold.

You played this just fine, a lot of hands can connect with that flop, and you want to make them pay to draw out on you.
