UTG seems LAGgy, I think neither horrible nor great. Something like 45/23 preflop and moderately aggro postflop. We've had a few confrontations; I think I floated him on his second hand (blind war).
I felt kind of lost at every point on this hand. Should I just call preflop on the grounds that few worse hands will call? I considered checking behind on the flop, but figured I needed to protect my hand if it was good. But I'm coming perilously close to pot committing myself. Even the fold didn't seem obvious to me, given read and history.
