I would call the flop bet and bring UTG along to pay me off when I catch the J. It's not like he's folding anything we want him to fold anyways, so there is no point in making this an expensive draw.

Realistically though we're not getting 3 bet very often. SB is probably making a probing bet with a 9 or 10 or straight draw (or total bluff). Don't you think this play is worth it for free card value? If we call, odds will be enough that we must call a turn bet as well.

Although having just said this, if we fold UTG with the raise it might be a good idea to be betting back at SB if checked to on the turn to try get him to fold.

Guess it all depends on how frisky a mood we're in

If you call utg may fold to the bet anyway. If you call sb could check the turn with a draw. If you think you must call a turn bet your giving yourself to many outs. I am not saying a flop raise is bad here just don't know if i agree with your reasoning.

I think it's a fine play, SB has a big hand here almost never.
