I'd raise to 35BB, or somewhere around there. That's a good flop for his range and he has incentive to call. He could easily have a set or two pair, possible a lesser straight. But there's also the chance that he's on a flush draw and you want him to pay alot for that draw.

So I'd raise it up 35-45BB, go all in if he re-raises you. If he calls I'd go all in on the turn unless the flush is made, and even then I'd consider calling an all in.

If you re-raise him large the worst that happens is he just gave you 15BB on a crappy check re-raise bluff. Take it and be happy.

Re-pop small to about 32-35ish and look to get it in. If there wasn't the flush draw on that straight of a board, I'd probably call and look to get it in on the turn since you have position, but you don't want him getting scared off with his two pair+ if a bad turn card hits.

Here I think that opponent doesn't have a FD, because raising you would be a little crazy. Usually players make a call with FD. So here I prefer to call, because we are in position, opponent after his raise, he should continue betting. One hand that we can afraid is set on the flop and later possible full house, so maybe 3bet on the flop is better than call.

There might a FD, since he complete from bb, and then again most prob there small pair or any ace.
