Default 65s deep stacks loose aggresive game, 5-5 NLHE 500 max buy

I have no idea what to do... (I'm pretty exhausted, so details are a little hazy, but this is roughly what happened.)

I chose to post this here due to the nature of the opposition.

---

This was at about the 8.5 hour mark in a session that I walked into after it had been going for a few hours. I'd just dragged down the biggest pot of my life, which was about $7k.

The table featured three very loose aggressive opponents and one of them had just lost the big pot to me.

LAGS are on button, SB, and UTG. UTG has a stack of about $2k (400bb), and the other two guys have stacks of about $500-$1000. I have them covered. I'm in MP1, there's between 8 and 9 players at this point.

There haven't actually been many reraises preflop in this game, I'd say maybe less than 5% of pots.

Blinds post, UTG (lag) raises to $50, a tight, passive player on my right calls, and I call with 65s (clubs). A tightish, tricky player on my left calls, and the button, who may be a little tilted at this point, calls. The SB, who just lost the big pot to me, and is feeling the effects of it still, raises to $150. BB, who is a little too loose against raises and is on a short stack (80bb), calls. UTG calls, buddy on my right folds, I call, guy on my left calls, button calls.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]j [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], players: 6 pot: $950.

SB bets out $150 (out of $300), bb folds, utg calls, I call, the guy on my left folds, button pushes to $210, sb pushes to $300 (weird raise, but it's allowed here and everyone must play under these rules, not just hero), utg raises to $800 (he has $950 left), hero to act...

Main Pot is: 950+600+450 = 2000. Hero still has $150 to contribute to the main pot to play. Side pot has started, which hero is required to match to continue to play: $500... all told, a call by hero would make the main pot $2150 and the side pot $1000.

Hero has a bunch of cash remaining and villain (UTG) has $950.

What is hero's play?

Questions:

1) Preflop... what do you guys think?
2) General flop play...?
3) What should I do now?

FWIW, I went "all in" for villain's remaining $950, because I didn't want to have him push into me on the turn. I'm basically buying a river card with this push. I'm curious if that's a good thing or not. There's some chance, but it's not guaranteed, that any of the villains have a flush draw.
