I would definitely raise the flop here. You have two pair, on a very drawy board. Any seven, nine, queen or spade either kills your action or completes someone's draw.

I'd make a healthy raise to $1.00 here, maybe even more (overbetting the pot wouldn't be real bad here, with multiple opponents and this kind of board).

As played, I don't think the 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] has helped MP2 here. He could still have AJ or a worse two pair. Wouldn't put him on a draw, UTG on the other hand is playing this like a draw.
Raise it up here?

You MUST re-raise the flop. There are like 5,000 players in and the board is extremely threatening. Pop it to 90c/100c, you have a hand you want to stack off with, that's not going to happen if you don't juice the pot.

As played push the turn.

As stated before, push more on the flop (betpot at least).
You are offering good odds (without even taking into account implied odds) for your opponents to beat you with straight and flush draws.

And to answer your question: reraise or even push all-in on the turn (if you think that MP2 will follow an all-in).
