A fellow 2+2'er and I disagree on the correct way to play three hands. In this hand, UTG plays loose preflop and stays within line post. I am curious to see which side of the debate most people fall on

I dislike your play post flop here, particularly on the river. What hands would a player, even a loose one, re-raise with here? QJ, AQ, KQ, 910, a set, and maybe an open ended straight draw.
Basically, I advocate a call on any other card. But with this river, you can only realistically beat KT. If you believe your opponent will play KT in this manner, then perhaps you can justify call. However, I would probably fold.

The combination of KT/J8 make this look like a call getting 9-1 on the end. I have also seen enough really kooky stuff like AT, T8, JT, J9 played this way. Not a no-brainer call on the end, but a call nonetheless.</font>
