i'd raise it to $25 or maybe $30. i don't like SB's call of the bet and raise.

when the action gets to you it's $3 to call with $15 in the pot. your call makes it $18, so a pot sized raise would make it $21 total. with two players i'd rather bet a little more to kill SB's odds if UTG flat calls.

EDIT: i'd also check behind on the turn because at that point you either have him crushed or you're drawing dead.

EDIT EDIT: eh, with UTG left to act on the turn you have to bet...bleh...

Original thought was J,10 or flush draw

If I had J, 10 I would not check the flop and give the free card to the flush draw nor would I stop pushing the flop.

If I was on a flush draw, I would check and call bets where I still had proper odds, which he roughly did.

I fold too

I totally agree with you on the flop. And I would probably check behind on the turn if it was HU, but I still have MP to worry about. What is my action if I check and he bets? Call, taking the risk of drawing dead?
