Re: I can\'t believe I\'m fearing a straight flush.
I might have check/3-bet the flop. You might get UTG to fold AK/KQ and make you really happy. And if he doesn't fold, it's okay because you've got two players in the pot with you, making your overcards + flush draw equity just barely ahead.
Bet/3-bet the turn instead of check-raising. You hope that UTG will call at least one of those bets.
The river is ugly. I'd bet-call the way I would have played it because the pot would have been extra bloated. As it is, the pot is just large enough that I think you're in position to pay it off. Be prepared for him to show down a winner most of the time.
