Squeeze, Call, or Fold
2/5 game. I am sitting with about $700. My image is TAG who is capable of bluffing. Have 3bet twice in 2 hours, but neither went to showdown.
UTG opens to $20 (~$500) TAG
UTG + 1 calls (Fun Player but has become tighter in the last hour-~$800)
MP Calls (~$500) TAG
Hero dealt 98s: ?
I think 3bet > Call but not sure. Fold might be better than both, but this hand seems a little too strong for that. What is your standard here?
UTG is definitely opening a decently wide range for UTG-probably all PPs, suited aces, broadways, suited connectors etc...
UTG+1 calling range is way too wide
MP calling range is probably pocket pair and suited connector heavy

I would just call. I think 98s plays very well in a multiway pot. Calling or squeezing both are great plays. Just depends if you think you can get it through.
What position is hero?
If in position, I like flat calling.
If in BB or SB, I still like calling, but don't think raising is bad at all.
I think calling will lead to easier post flop spots than raising will and still be plenty profitable. Just depends what you're comfortable with.
In the blinds, this hand should be in your 3b range at least sometimes.
given all the mentioned factors, call seems fine.
keep in mind squeezing to like 90-100 may result in awkward spr-ratio (pot too big).
oh, and:
not a TAG in my book.
