I think you played it fine. Tons of worse hands will cold call you on the flop here. Don't slowdown, keep firing. If someone flopped a straight , you gotta pay it off.

seems fine, to be picky though 2.5 on the flop will bloat the pot a bit more and help bigger bets on later streets.

Depends on UTG's stats. If he's raising a lot pre-flop (+9%) definitely, otherwise I'm calling for set value.

I bet $3 on the flop and open-push the turn. I'll pay off a flopped straight here if I don't hit any of my 10 outs on the river.

 I don't really like re-raising out of the blinds, esspecially against an utg raise... However I have no read or stats on the table.

This was played absurdly standard.
