Do you think there is any reason to raise?

[Absolute]

Well, I think I could drive out the BB and maybe the MP limper.but two UTG callers are scary and unless I flop a set or something like J-6-2 I have to fold.

I think you're right. Except why would you want to drive out the BB. The only desirable flops you can get is something like, A72...If you flop all undercards to your pair it is going to be too coordinated. 256, 234...One over, 853, and a set is the only flops you really hope for. since it is highly unlikey you will get a 853 flop, you would rather invite the BB in hoping his T50 hits on a T57 board.

there is no reason to raise with 77, 88, or 99 in that poisition at all. I don't think you'll drive anyone out and you've now comitted yourself to the turn by doing that. Standard hand

You played it correctly. The end.
