Default PS $10, somewhat common situation

This situation is not a make-or-break decision, but at the time I felt it was common and important enough to get others' opinion on. The main question is how you play it preflop, followed by how you plan to play flop depending on what comes.

Seat 1: karen19 (2740 in chips)
Seat 2: GuidoML (1535 in chips)
Seat 3: mizera (1410 in chips)
Seat 4: ripeUup100 (1140 in chips)
Seat 5: GotYourTell (2570 in chips)
Seat 7: BB(2690 in chips)
Seat 9: UTG(1415 in chips)

GotYourTell: posts small blind 50
timbertech: posts big blind 100

*** HOLE CARDS ***
<font color="red">Dealt to GotYourTell [9d 9h]</font>

UTG: calls 100
4 folds
GotYourTell: calls 50
BB: checks

*** FLOP *** [8d 2d 7h]
GotYourTell: checks
BB: checks
UTG: checks

*** TURN *** [8d 2d 7h] [4s]
GotYourTell: bets 200
BB: folds
UTG: folds
GotYourTell collected 300 from pot

READS:
UTG is very tight and fairly solid. Doesnt have a great grasp of the game but isnt making outrageous bets or calls. At the time, UTG limp looked like big pair hoping it gets raised somewhere after or small pair set mining. Could also be something like suited broadways but i give the most credit to any rank PP.

My thinking was that I can keep the pot small, if i hit (set or overpair) ill assume im ahead and build it then. On the flop, I made the mistake of checking. I should have bet out and folded if UTG pushed, but i wanted to give him a chance to bet a ragged flop. In hindsight, i def. should have bet flop, luckily it didnt matter here.

Thoughts preflop? What if flop came with one overcard, still bet out?

PF: fine. If stacks were different and you had a different read, shove.

Flop: gotta bet out 60-70% pot here. Too many turn scare cards and there's a good chance you're ahead on this flop and can take it down without a battle.

If an overcard came out, check/fold. Just not worth messing around in marginal situations for hundreds of chips.

Bet the flop, you have the best hand a lot.

Call the turn.

bet flop call turn as played

one overcard depends on opponents, id probably still lead at it and shut down if called.
