6 max BB Special Hand - Value or Protection Route?

[Roadstar]

Reads, table used to be pretty passive until UTG really lagged things up.

Almost UTG will auto bet and auto raise on the flop, he only slows down after a turn raise (he doesn't raise as much preflop though, strange).

MP is fish like 55/8/1 knows to raise once in a while (hes been calling all bets from UTG lagster down.

Button is pretty much unknown, seem him play almost everyhand (no PFR tho).

I guess key question is the flop play I had two lines in mind:

1) check, let UTG bet, trap the whole field for 2, lead turn (Value Route)

2) bet, let UTG raise, hopefully knock out 2 behind. check/raise turn. (Protection Route)

Which one do you vote for? how much do you worry about being counterfeited?

comments on turn and river?

In a game like this, I vote for pumping the pot and praying you hold up. The pot is too small to be worth protecting. Had there been some LAG action preflop, you might be more inclined to get the others to fold.
