LAG table troubles...

This hand (and perhaps the responses I get to it) is going to give me nightmares. MP2 is a LAG, rarely resisting to fire with nothing on most streets. I had no read on UTG+2. The action on this table was pretty well-represented by this line, and I'm having a real problem with adjusting to it.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.5 BB (10 handed) converter

UTG+1 ($62.82)
UTG+2 ($25.8)
MP1 ($31.33)
MP2 ($58.9)
MP3 ($48.25)
CO ($62.65)
Hero ($49.9)
SB ($5.5)
BB ($52.95)
UTG ($174.21)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 raises to $1, 1 fold, MP2 raises to $6, 2 folds, Hero calls $6, 2 folds, UTG+2 calls $5.

Flop: ($18.75) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+2 checks, MP2 bets $10, Hero calls $10, UTG+2 calls $10.

Turn: ($48.75) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, Hero checks.

River: ($48.75) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+2 bets $9.8 (All-In), MP2 raises to $42.9 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $101.45

Should I have reraised preflop? How much?
Should I have reraised the flop?
Should I have bet the turn? (I was thinking no, because I was expecting a reraise from someone with an A, probably UTG+2)
Is this a push on the river?

Be unmerciful.

Raise the flop.

I agree - raise the flop to $40. LAG's win there money by using folding equity. Once you play back, they'll run away. Also, you want to fold the straight-flush draw if possible. Fold the river with your 4th nut flush.
