Raise or fold preflop against that poster. When you call here, you'll have two players with completely random hands seeing the flop.
I don't think that UTG was drawing to a runner runner flush or straight. He either has the case 6 or a FH. The pot is kind of protected and SB is constantly donking and calling. A straight doesn't win against two players here, imo. Fold.

In play I think that many would call here - don't feel bad about it.

I agree with Genz - this is a fold. You really only beat a bluff. UTG may well be drawing with 89 and have the same straight as you, however, I think it is just as likely that he has a boat. In terms of the way you played it, I don't like your turn raise, either call or make a proper raise.

You are saying my raise to $3 which is around 2/3 of the pot is too small and I should be raising to around $5 which is the pot. One of the reasons I have raised on the turn is so most times I am checked to on the river or sb will do his small donk bet. If I just call the bet this will give the other two players more chance to bluff at the pot on the river?
