I had just won a decent pot in the big blind and was going to finish the orbit before leaving the table. I'm dealt 22 in the SB and decide to complete behind 3 limpers for set value...I figure I can easily part with the hand if I don't hit...but I do! ♦ I slightly overbet the pot on the flop to protect against flush/straight draws, and then pushed the turn with about 1.3x the pot in my stack. I planned on slowing down if a spade hit the turn (maybe 1/2 pot or so.) All OK?

Again waiting for the blinds because I doubled up last hand and the table has emptied out. Normally I won't play 99 when waiting to leave the table, but I was first in and in late position so figured I'd take a shot. The flop bet seemed very weak in comparison to the potsize, so I raised it. I told the dealer what card I needed on the turn and he gladly complied ♦...push! My main question here was the flop raise...was it OK?
Thanks,
