Default 55 flops a set

Absolute 50NL, 6 max, 5 handed currently.

UTG ($55.5) is 14.7/4.9/2.8/7.7/50 after 102 hands. Pretty straight forward TAG player.
SB (~$105) is 70/10/5.7/33.3/60. A fish.

Hero (~101) is BB and is dealt 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Preflop:
UTG raises to 2.5, UTG+1 (who posted 0.5) folds, BN folds, SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop ($8): 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB checks, I'm confident TAG UTG will bet and I check, UTG bets 6, SB calls, Hero raises to 30

I had UTG on a big pair or maybe AK, so I wasn't too scared of him having much of a draw. If the SB did not call, I probably would have just smooth called and tried to stack UTG with a C/R on the turn. But as it is, with SB calling, I felt I had to raise to knock out his potential draws. Think it's okay? What about the size of the raise?

Thanks for any comments.
