I'd 3-bet him on the flop with all the str8 &amp; FD out there. Bet bottom 2 strong &amp; put the decision on him.

I'm reraising here to at least $9. Looks like he's protecting top pair. I don't want UTG to hang around and make this 3 handed. Draw heavy board- I want to take down pot before scare card comes and faced with tough decision. Unless he has a better 2 pair or set- you're way ahead so price out the draws and maybe the top pair will hang around.

Make it 10 on the flop.

Agree.

As played:
UTG is screaming: "I got a FD, please let me draw"

It is time to raise on the turn imo.
J9 just hit, but the FD is a bigger part of his range, because of the openlimp. They do it more often with suited hands.

Raise it to 12$ on the turn, and push any blank river.

I think check-calling is so weak on that board.

You should remember whenever you hit twopair with your suited-connectors/gappers, play it really fast, someone else could have a straightdraw and you lose a big pot.
