Raise or fold methinks. MP2 is capable of donkbluffing here and UTG maybe be enticed into calling with twopair if you call.

This seems like a great time to go for overcalls. If you raise and one of your opponents rereaises, you have an uncomfortable decision to make. If you call, you might sucker in the other player with a worse hand than yours.

The parlay that MP2 is bluffing and UTG has two pair and UTG will fold it for two bets is not worth risking 2BBs here in a 10BB pot. I just call, and if you occassionally run into a bluff in front and two pair in back, that's the risk you have to take; you can't win every pot.

On a board with a one card straight and the flopped flush drawing there, how often do you really expect UTG to overcall here with something you beat?

I misread the post and didn't notice that the flush came in. Still, I think this is an easy call. You very well might get an overcall from a loose player, and raising has the potential of costing you an extra bet (or 2 if you call a reraise) in a spot where I think you aren't good a lot of the time.
