Have to think I'm up against MP2's trips. But I think I have to call to see if I can spike a Q. If MP2 bets a blank turn, do I fold?

Many (most?) .5/1 players will play a 9 this way but would slowplay a 3. Also, you need to ask yourself what kind of a hand UTG is most likely to have limped with pf given his position: a hand containing a 3 or a hand containing a 9?

You're either way ahead or way behind on this board. I would cap the flop. If UTG keeps betting, I call down. If UTG checks to you on the turn I bet and go from there.

i agree. at the very least you have to call here, but probably cap and call down depending on the turn and the action. you may be looking at MP2 w/ A3, but more likely he has 9-paint.

Capping and calling is close depending on your read of the player.
