15 UTG is big. Feel like this just announces "I have a big hand, call for implied odds only". This hand, and many others, will go better if you don't do this.
Any reads on UTG-2 would help, lots of people just 100% snap call 22-77 here but will not play KK this way much.
On flop I don't see any point in raising to the donk lead, you will be AI vs. SB almost no matter what happens and you want UTG-2 who has position and hasn't acted yet to have no idea what to do with 22/55/66/77/98s nevermind 99-KK.
When you raise the donk and utg-2 flats your raise you are in a very bad spot and are mostly vs. 88/44/33/43s/65s maybe some A5s/A2s/52s /QQ+. Like TT has to be a fish who always just stacks off with an overpair and ignores every piece of information given to him to call your flop raise and turn shove.
So I think it's closer to fold for the 45 than call vs. most of the population, and you really don't want to be putting the last 90 in on a 6 (board being: 8436), except we are basically at the top of our range and have piles in the pot so lol us.
