I don't see the point of the turn check, unless your plan was that if UTG calls your raise he has you beat and you can safely check/fold. Thus if I checked the turn, I must've been planning to fold the river, and I'm not going to change that plan now. If I don't think UTG has me beat, then I bet the turn. Do you think a "tight" player calls your raise with less than a set or overpair?

That said 3k chips is a very short stack and I think you might not see a better spot. Though if you were ever going to check/fold an overpair this is the time to do it. I'm not sure I could get away in the heat of battle.

Edited because I didn't phrase myself how I wanted to the first time.
