I don't like bluffing bad players, they call to often. And there are two in the pot. I don't see how your gutshot makes much of a difference, if they have a flush you're drawing dead.

^^ Yeah to be honest, drawing to a gutshot when there's a flush on the board isn't great.

If he calls it you're in trouble, cause you'd probably be representing *his* hand.

I subscribe to the view that making a big bluff is a bad idea unless you've got some sort of read that would indicate otherwise. There's no point in pressing the issue, if they're bad like you say then just wait till you make a hand and they'll give you their chips anyway, no need to make risky bluffy plays if you're probably going to be winning in the long run anyway.

Edit: Having said that if you are going to be making a bluff here i'd be tempted to bet a bit more, like pot it basically.

I like it. I think they fold everything but flushes, sets, and AJ with the A of clubs here.

UTG's bet appears to be scared. I am kinda worried about the BB as he likely has some sort of draw which could have been the flush draw.

this is not great. you have no money in the pot, you have no equity, you only have FE. can't you choose a better spot?

fold flop, fold turn,

or

raise flop, bet turn

your line is really bad because it isn't HU. they will fold a bunch, but you really don't need to raise that much to achieve the same. i think betting 6 and 9 is the same in this case.
