free showdown play

I was afraid that just raising the flop would look to much like AK or AJ and it'd set me up for a turn donk or a turn check raise.

you said UTG was tight/passive.

Good point.

What range of hands do you put UTG on here? Are we really ahead of a tight passive that bets this flop against 2 opponents?

I don't like it that much, what are the odds on effectively seeing the showdown using this play?

Are you hoping he is betting 99/KT or a draw?

True,

I can safely fold to any river donk or a re-raise. I think the only question is when to raise, not if? I vote for a flop raise, turn bet, river check.

If you raise flop and get 3-bet, this is an easy fold from tight passive I assume?

Wouldn't this be a much safer play against a tight passive because they aren't 3-betting lightly. If he donks the turn you can then fold?
