Default Stars 5/10 - Flop Top 2 from the BB in an Unraised Pot

No real reads, only been sitting for an orbit. Villian has been loose so far, but hasn't shown anything, and he completed the SB so that's not really relevant here.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $10 BB (5 handed) converter

UTG ($380)
MP ($1521.25)

Easy push given your stack size. I'm not laying this down against a sb who could have woken up to bottom two, middle two, a straight draw or flush draw, overplaying top pair, etc.

Ditto. In an unraised pot with a set and a drawing board like that he would most likely checkraise. Most likely he's got some kind of big draw (straight + flush) or a much worse made hand.

Does anyone find that LAGs always come over the top with a 2suited flop when they drawing to close to the flush NUTS?

i've got him on bottom set. draws would raise bigger to try to take the pot. he's raised little enough to tempt you to call.

as for those that feel a set would check-raise, betting out with a set is the standard play (and has been for a long time).
