Am I passive in checking this hand on the flop? With two players to come, I didn't think it was reasonable to bet, or should I have bet and would it have been an easy fold to a raise? I'm just somewhat confused with playing overcards UI on the flop with such bad position.

Flop: (13.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

Turn: (8.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

River: (11.25 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG+2 folds, Hero folds.

I think in this situation I should have folded the turn since I'm not getting any odds to call for my overs and some of them might be dirty with the UTG+2 raising and BB capping PF.
