well UTG had always played his big pocket pairs hard preflop, and this min raising then short stack going all in with a wide hand range had been going on at the table for awhile, so i don't think its that ez of a fold. I was certain utg would fold to a reraise, mp was short stacked and i felt like i would be ahead of many of his hand range. So it came down to seeing a flop by calling which would entice utg to call also or reraise to get it hu with mp who was all in...I don't think this is auto fold, which i normally would in this situation,( sorry should have put this info in original post)

I think you need to look at the main pot as dead money and play the hand accordingly. With over T600 in the pot I can't really see any reason to try to bring UTG along. If you feel you are ahead of his range letting him call getting around 3-1 odds would be terrible.
Push him out.
