Default Flopped Set in 2/5 NL

Awesomely loose, live NL game this weekend. A bit on the villains:

<font color="red">UTG: </font> Maybe the worst player ever- Stack is about $300
<font color="red">Button: </font> First rotation with him, but he seems like an inexperienced, but decent player- Stack is about $600

UTG limps, Hero raises to $20 with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], button calls, blinds fold, UTG calls

Flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG checks, Hero bets $50, button calls, UTG raises to $120, Hero calls, Button calls.

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG goes all-in for $150, <font color="red">Hero? </font>

I have both of them covered. Am I reduced to calling and screaming "Pair the Board" loudly, raising to build a side pot, or can anyone find a fold here?

youre getting 4:1 pot odds when its 3:1 to pair the board... if he flipped over the nut straight this is a clear call. only hand he could have that would warrant a fold is JJ.

"UTG: Maybe the worst player ever"

No way the worst player ever would raise the flop here with a flopped straight.

"Button: seems like an inexperienced, but decent player"

Do you see him playing A5 or 56 to a $20 raise?

I'm pretty sure your hand is good but if it's not you still have plenty of outs. Easy all-in.

I agree with the both of you. I think that folding is absolutely wrong here, but the question is, how do you play it to try and maximize my win.

I don't see the button playing 5-6 for a raise, but A-5 suited may be a possibility. I think that if he did hold A-5 he would have pushed or at least raised after I called the UTG's raise on the flop. The button's presence makes this hand a lot tougher if you ask me.
