I think I'd lead the turn and slow down to a raise. The fact that you're OOP and everyone plus their mother is in this pot makes it hard to play. You could very well be up against someone thinking that 99 is good unless a flush hits

The fact that MP2 calls the flop then caps your 3-bet is intresting to say the least. U would think if he had a set he would CR the turn.

I think leading the turn here u are only going to get raised.

As far as the hand, MP2 has either has two pair (unlikely, but if he sucks, its possible), a set (I think a turn check raise would be more likely though) or something like 88 or 99. UTG=2 had a flush Im guessing. I might check raise the turn but I dont have any reads to go off of, so it makes it more difficult.
