Am I being too passive here. When he raises the turn after flat calling it seems AJ or TT but I wasn't sure so I decided to call down instead of raising.

The actions of UTG+1 look a lot more like AK (than TT or AJ.) I think a call on the flop with TT would be reserved only for the biggest donks - you know the ones that cannot get off any pocket pair. AJ would be a little more likely, although the flop call (with 4, maybe 7 outs) would have been almost as bad as calling w/TT. I also think that most players would bet a little more on the river with a set here, but you never know. He could have made a really bad flop call, then drawn out. At any rate, I would call here every time, getting 5 to 1 from the pot.

I don't think he was even considering a fold...

the hand looks good.

correct it was just a question of if I should raise or call. I knew AK was possible but I would expect a raise in the flop most of the time with that.
It turns out the villian had QT.
