Default Turn Decision

The game was typically loose and somewhat aggressive both pre and post-flop. The post-flop raiser had not raised a flop bet from me yet (whether or not I had raised pre-flop). I felt he had at least top pair and maybe better to raise me immediately (I felt a draw was unikely).

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.05.
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO (poster) calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (14 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero calls.

I think this was a big mistake, I should have re-raised immediately. I cannot for the life of me think of why I just called here. This was a great flop but all the players that cold-called the raise had me worried. Nevertheless I feel re-raising was essential.

SB checks, UTG checks, Hero ??

Not a good card. What is your play from here?
