Its a couple of weak bets, but i think if i push then SB is calling, then UTG will probably commit with any draw and i may only be a small favourite, or perhaps im already crushed. Can i find a fold here?

This is a good one. Raise to $12 and see what happens. I think folding is weak.
In looking at this further, my guess is UTG is slow-playing AA/KK. The weak raise and the continual calling makes me think this.

More preflop. I raise flop and probably don't put in another dime.

You have an overpair (that YOU 3bet preflop) against a halfstack and a quarter stack. The quarter stack donks about 1/4 pot(oo tarping), the halfstack flatcalls it(MEGATARP).

I couldn't possibly shove fast enough. Is this not an ideal situation?

surely if i raise to 12, if utg is playing they are pushing, so i'll have to call. I can't see a way to raise this flop and then fold. A shove would be better, no?

Tarping??
Explain thanks

commit and call, you don't get away from this for these stacks
