I have played only 4 games against UTG - therefore no reads:

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 folds, UTG calls.

River: (12.25 BB) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: 12.25 BB

What do you think about the turn-reraise and what about the free showdown?

I wouldn't 3-bet the turn.

Were you reraising because you thought UTG's checkraise was full of shiit, or were you reraising to knock out MP2? If you were reraising to knock out MP2 then I don't mind it. But if you were reraising because you didn't believe him then I would have bet the river for value. I think that he had a Queen and put you on AK.

Just call down, bad boy. It doesn't look like an UTGer would play a 2 but don't rule out anything at .50/1 Party. He could also be popping you with his flopped set or what not. You also don't mind keeping MP2 in the hand, hope he overcalls.

I miss-read the board, (tired, no excuse, blah, blah blah.) I didn't see the double pair with the Q. Take the free showdown for sure.

What do you think he checkraises the turn with? This time you got a free showdown because of the Q on the river and he is afraid of you having AQ. If he had a 2 and was a good player he would just cap the turn and bet the river so 3-betting would be a very expensive free showdown.
Just call down the checkraise. You can be beat already, you don't have to get rid of MP2 at all costs.

Thanks for the answers!
Yeah, to call down seems to be correct here, course a 2 was very likely (he didn't have it). I was hoping for a weak call from the MP2 or bust him out on the turn (both things were fine). I planed to fold, if the UTG would have capped it - who knows if I really would have done it, course perhaps he also may have capped it with X/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif or something on the turn...
