Looks like a bit icky squeeze attempt. If UTG+2 is passive, I might find a call here in hopes of hitting J/T/8 on turn.

However, I'm leaning towards fold, since if you raise, it needs to be at least $9 and more likely $11 to actually make UTG+2 fold. Then you're pretty much forced to call if he shoves. Suddenly a mediocre hand and a good draw may get expensive.

Love to hear what others have to say, though.

I think folding is the best move, the utg player could just have a draw but he could have u crushed as well. You tried to pick up the pot and go played back at. This is a fold for me.
