It should be glued down for this hand. I had one just like it earlier, except a straight wasn't possible. I flopped a set of fives on a board of 25K, and a second K came on the turn. I felt incredibly comfortable capping both the turn and the river against this guy. He turned over KQ and I was glad that I did.

We are behind KK(3) 99(3) JJ(1) KJ(9) J9(9) a total of 25
The only hand I can put UTG+1 that we beat is QT(16)
I think that KJ and J9 are unlikely though it is possible UTG+1 overplayed two pair on the turn.

We lose two if we raise and are behind, (assuming we call the reraise) and me probably make at least 3 when we are ahead.

I would raise, and call a 3 bet.

That is weak-tight. QT is more likely for UTG+1 than the hands you listed above.

I agree QT is the most likely. I said there are 16 ways of making QT and 25 ways of making hands that beat us (oops I left out J5, doesn't matter) but the hands that could beat us are less likely based on the betting.

Would you cap the river as well?

You're damned right I'd cap the river, because it's online and I can't be 5bet. Heads up, in a casino, I'd call a 3bet.
