UTG checks, Hero checks, Button bets $2, UTG calls $2, Hero.. what and why?

...Hero calls. We're getting fantastic odds to draw out, and raising doesn't make alot of sense into 2 players, especially when the button showed alot of strength by 3-betting PF.

call. Raising has too little fold equity and we don't want to reopen the betting at this point. And if make the pot bigger now, we might have to call a bigger turn bet to see the river.
