Does this mean that UTG checked his option?

Easy fold, readless

Okay I dont think MP has a huge hand here as this is very out of character for him. I am getting 4:1 in position, that makes no difference at all here? If villains have anything other than AA then I am getting the correct odds. I understand that the hands arent face up and getting checked til the river, but I also doubt either villain becomes bluff happy multiway. On the other hand, this will be very difficult to play whether I hit my A or Q, but the position part should help with that somewhat. Im also not concerned about the difficulty of the hand, just what will net the most EV.
