Bet more on the flop. After you call UTG+1's bet, the pot is $3.25, and you raised only $1.50. Against two opponents, you are giving KJ or J9 pots odds (never mind implied odds) to call you. You should have raised to $3.50 or $4.00

HUH? wouldn't the odds of an OESD be around 27% and the pot odds of about 50% still?

Feel free to pare down a quote so it is clear what you are responding to. I assume this was the correct issue.

Hero raised $1.50, making the pot $4.75. Against one opponent, they are getting 4.75-to-1.5 or 3.2-to-1 payoff on their draw (which is, assuming 8 outs, 39-to-8 or 4.88-to-1). So you are correct, they would not have pots odds to draw. However, against two opponents, the payoff would be 6.25-1.5 or 4.17-to-1. OK, they don't QUITE have pots odds, but since there are clearly some implied odds available, you certainly don't want to make it this easy for opponents to call.
