Most likely fold is the right play, UTG call, I put him on AQ or KQ most likely.

That is you going all in on the turn, not UTG right?

The play is fine.

There are many ways to play this hand, obviously. But there are only a few ways that you should fold the flop and especially the turn.

#1. To be single tabling
or
#2. To know that this player is better then and/or tighter then you.

I really cant see AQ or KQ UTG check-min-raising very often to 200 especially with 2 hearts.

What hand would check-minraise that hero beats? I think you could call and check turn without a read and see what villain does. I don't think checking the flop is horrible either. Sometimes free cards will ruin your hand, but it keeps the pot small and lends your hand some deception.

That's not a check/minraise, that's a minraise.

If I bet this flop, it's with the intention of folding. But given your stack size, I'm likely check/pushing.
