Thanks for the heads up, Monk. I realized my mistake about the 356x holding about 5 minutes after posting, but I didn't get a chance to edit it. I'm still not quick on my out calculations in situations like this.
Anyway, Briacheck, how did the night turn out as a whole? Did you take home the grits? If you are the best player, then I think it might have been right for your to fold without redraws -- there will be more chances to get your money in the pot when _you've_ got the upper hand!

How is this game postflop? If it isnt totally passive you might want to check and get some money in there so after your raise you don´t have to think anymore. It really is a tough spot since they respect you and still start a raisewar. Also I would guess that if rocky has 22, 44, he will fold them after laggy and you show you are committed (so chance of getting against two sets would deminish somewhat)?
A fold is definitely not a bad option here, but I think I still push IF this game is loose preflop decreasing the chance of redraws, and IF you think laggy will play any set here like that. Stack-sizes influenced my decision, you have 7 dollars more than rocky, so if the situation is laggy with set and rocky with straight you at least get to play a nice side pot with the best hand.

My guess is that Rocky had trip aces and the board paired.
Please spill the beans!

If there's a flush draw on the flop I think it's an easy fold. I guess the question is, just how laggy is your lag? What would he be pushing this hard? If the answer is just about any four, you might as well go for it. If it's pretty clear he's needing a wheel to do it, well, there's not much point continuing when at best you're going to get your money back. You've only put $1.50 in so even if they both have the wheel with no redraws it's not a problem to fold. It only becomes an error if there's a good chance they don't both have it; here, though, it seems very likely they do.
Against most opponents I think this is a fold really.
So, what happened?

I have $25, Rocky has $18, Laggy has $40.
I have 235T rainbow in the BB. Game is 7 handed. Very passive preflop. Rocky calls UTG, 2 callers to Laggy OTB, sb completes and I check.
Flop is A24 rainbow. I flop the nuts
I get respect in this game so I bet $1.50 as a feeler to know if anyone raises me, they definitely have a good hand.
Rocky raises it $4 more. Laggy thinks and raises it to $10.
Everyone has folded and its just me left. I know Rocky has a good hand and is likely going to put in all his chips. Laggy definitely will as I've never seen him put this much in and fold but he also has a big hand to raise. Each of them have a set at worse and 1 or both may have the straight. Therefore, this will be a pot for all your chips if you want to play but I have no redraw. What do you do?
