UTG: 13.97 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)

Hero (BTN): 36.89 BB
SB: 53.85 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 25.00, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, Hands: 8)

8 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.3 BB) Hero has J♣ A♣

fold, UTG+1 raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 2 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (6.3 BB, 2 players) 6♣ 8♣ 5♦
UTG+1 bets 3 BB, Hero?
I have some question about playing those suited broadways, Do we want to play them vs unknown players that seem to be tight from the 8 hands they were dealt?
When we flop the nutflushdraw, Do we want to play for stacks? or Should we pay/draw for the minimum?
My thought on this hand is : the ep raisers on general have a lot of broadways or pocketpairs, 6c8c5d is not a flop that the ep raisers hits hard, so, I thought semi-bluffing here should be the move, I dont know if i should just shove or reraise her? semi'bluffing was a good idea, but i didnt want to just bet, get a jam, and having to call with A high.... What move do you think is the best on this board?

The sample is too small to said something about his stats, but in most cases I don’t think defending in position is bad. As played I would go for it with our flush draw to raise it and get as much fold equity as possible and if he stacks of we can always hit our hand.
