UTG raiser is loose and aggressive; his preflop raise could mean anything. I was more concerned about Alex, to my right. Didn't have much of a read on him, but I was guessing if he raises rather than just calling the raise, I put him on AK or some kind of big pair, something that he figures he's got UTG beat with.

I'm reading this as a standard c-bet given the flush draw. 1/2 pot c-bets had been totally successful at this table, so I read 2/3 bet as either he knows what he's doing with the flush draw and/or he has what I put him on to begin with. At this point I'm still wondering what the chances are he's on KK or AA.

By this point I could have re-raised preflop or on the flop, but I didn't. Partly I wanted to let him lead to see if I could get indications of his holding and keep mine a mystery, and partly because I wanted to let UTG contribute to the pot for a while.
