Both villian and BB are unknown however villian has been called a donkey by another player at the table.

Hero ???

Is the flop standard? If so, what's my plan for the rest of the hand? If not, what would you do and how would you act afterwords?

flop is standard, sure. With BB in there, calling the raise is easier. That turn is prolly a check/fold.

I agree that the turn is a c/f. But why is the flop an easier call? Due to the multiple bets we can get if we hit? Raising the protected pot means we're beat here close to, if not, 100% of the time.

we're getting 8:1, figuring BB is not going away. We have 2 outs to the set and maybe 1.5 for the bdsd. It is very close, but we can count on making some more bets on later streets. There's also a small chance that UTG's raise is just positional.
