Default 99, two overcards on flop

Full Tilt Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $3/$6
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, CO calls.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (10SB, 6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets</font>, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero?

UTG is 54/15/2.1. Easy fold? Easy peel? Could this guy 3-bet KJ or a flush draw? If he is, does it make it profitable to call down with my 9s? Do you raise the flop and with holdings like this when a loose and aggressive player bets in to you?

Ugh. Call me weak, but with 2 players still to act and 2 overcards and 2 strong draws possible (str + flush), I muck to the initial flop bet.

As played, I'd consider calling if we had the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] getting 16 to 1 to spike a 2-outer, but I'd end up mucking.

I close my eyes and hit the fold button here on this flop.

I'd fold to the flop bet and as played fold to the 3bet and hate the fact that I raised the flop.

Fold, even if you are ahead your equity is low and it's going to be hard to play it well on big streets.(What are you doing if a heart comes and he bets? ...What if he had KJ)

Easy Fold on the flop. not so much because of UTG's stats or read, but because that's a really bad flop and it hits lots of hands.

Given that you raised and it got HU with 1 more back to you, I'd peel, and reevaluate the turn. This player could definitely do this on a semibluff. Or it could be a pair or two pair hand. I think he raises QQ, TT and 77 preflop. You have outs to continue when behind.

Just fold to the flop donk. There are 6 players in and that flop sucks for you.
