Not much of a read on UTG.. but I suspect he is not good and a little too passive.

Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (7.66 SB) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 folds.

Turn: (4.83 BB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks????

I felt like there was a pretty good chance I did not have the best hand. And firing the 3rd barrell on the river without a read made me uneasy since I can't just let a K-high draw take it down if the river gets checked through.

Is this enough "outs" to check the turn with? Or is this an easy bet. If I had AK I would be more willing to bet and take the free showdown.

If you think UTG is folding a lot here, you bet. Otherwise you check. If he is calling with any pair, plus raising with a lot of hands (and you have to call the raise)... reads are so important.
