You are raised by BU and check-raised by UTG after raising preflop. BU folds for 1 more bet. So I might take a note that he is probably a bad bluffer. Unless UTG is a complete maniac, he has something. You could be ahead of a flush-draw, but you could easily be behind a Q or a set. You are getting 6.5:1 which is little if you are behind. I would dump my hand there. When UTG is very aggressive, I would fold that turn. It's another overcard and you are again bet into. So UTG is neither stupid enough to try another check-raise nor was he trying to get a free card for a draw. So I'd guess you are behind. A call-down is bad here, I think.

who is the maniac, button or UTG+1? By the time it's 2 back to me, I'm considering folding. You could cap it and hope to get to a showdown cheaply. I guess calldown is an option if you honestly believe he is bluffing.
