Flop decision I found difficult

Ok, UTG on this hand is 33/23, SB is a fish with stats in the 50/2 range. I'm ahead of a whole lot of UTG's raising hands here, but out of position, I elect to just call and see what the flop brings. On the flop, I checked planning to put in a big checkraise....SB checkraising gave me pause and I was really confused as to what to do here. I'm worried about UTG here...i'm pretty confident that I have SB beat here as he'd pull this stunt with top pair, no kicker, or possibly even second pair if he thought that the flop had missed us both and that UTG was just making a continuation bet. I elected to just call this big bet, my thinking was that if UTG was beat he'd fold, and I was likely ahead....if UTG raised or called, i'm done with the hand unless I improve. Obviously the rest of the hand plays itself.
