With the UTG donk in the hand I think capping is pretty standard.

Yeah I'm back.

I would bet the flop with your hand here Q, but this is only the automatic reaction. If I think about it the flop bet only works to disguise your hand, but has no real immediate value. It's not going to be for value(you're drawing most of the time here, or spliting), it's not going to get you a cheap card(I'll raise with every hand I played pre-flop), and you want to keep UTG in the hand as the most likely winning hand for you is the gutshot, or we'll split UTG's calls if we hit an A or K(assuming I also hold AK, which I would bet if checked to on this flop, but not sure if that is the right play either).
