My first instinct, with overcards and backdoor flush & straight draws, would be to RAISE this flop!

Do you not raise because SB's PFR indicates decent strength and you don't necessarily want to be heads-up with him, that you're most likely to win only if you hit one of your draws so want the other two players to come along to max your winnings?? Thanks...

It's possible think your overs may not be clean considering how SB is going to town. Who knows with out reads though, he could be raising 9-9 here. As per raising, I'd rather draw to a straight/flush and have the overcalls then to get heads up with SB.

If there had not been a PF raise, I'd raise this flop.

My Q and J outs are ok, and may not need to be "cleaned up" which would be a stronger reason to raise. (part of that is because no one behind me raised PF).

A raise out of the SB is generally more indicative of a better than average hand.

I like a flop raise, you have two overcards plus a backdoor zero gap str8 plus a backdoor flush, and you want people out who may have good redraws against a Q or J if you hit it, plus the small chance of a free card entices me to raise as well.
