Pre flop - Nothing I'd do different there.

Flop - I'd do the same here probably.

Turn - I may or may not cap here. There are a lot of worse hands utg could be 3 betting with, but I would definitely consider the possibility he had the nuts.

River - I would probably just call the check raise, especially if I had capped the turn.

You played it fine.

just call the river check/raise. also, if UTG were not short stacked, just call his turn 3-bet.

cheers!

Your play looks good except river. BB calling all the way, stuck between raisers. Now he c/r, call it, to much money in pot not too. But no 3 betting. Your warning bells should have gone off.
