UTG+2 is slightly on the passive side of being a TAg. MP2 is completely unknown.

I think I would have bet the turn given the amount of action on the flop.

I like to 3-bet the flop and see just how much UTG+2 likes his hand. If he caps, I'm calling down, or even folding the turn if it is 2 bets to me. Once the Q hits, the only thing you fear is a set, and the pot is too big to protect your hand, so why are you checking? Going for the check raise is ok, but then on the river, you gotta bet.

I don't get fancy here. I just lead this flop. I'm actually more interested in seeing how MP2 plays, since he 3-bet preflop.

UTG+2 I'm less concerned about. Preflop, a passive-ish tag-ish player cold calling preflop indicates to me a mid pocket pair, a mid-high-ish suited ace, or a high suited connector, so when I flop an ace, I'm not too concerned about him on the flop. MP2's 3-bet preflop makes me a little concerned about AK, but it could easily be AQ, TT-KK, a lower pocket pair, or something worse if the player's 3-bet range is looser. I bet the flop and see what happens.

Also, I have little interest in protecting my hand because the board is about as uncoordinated as they get so unless I am already beat, I only lose if someone pairs their kicker or trips up their pair.

I'd check-3bet the flop. Nice sexy on the river

littleogre has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I would 3 bet the flop then call if he caps. I don't mind the turn check if you plan on check raising. Sadly for you the flop aggressor checked behind you. Now if you were planing to just check call that is much to weak imo. On the river you checked again which worked out good for you as utg+2 decided to fire another shot at the pot. I personally would have lead out on the river fearing that the other players would check behind me.

The river check-raise in this situation should be pretty standard in my opinion. The fact that a Taggy player cold called preflop and then donked a raggedy, ace-high flop and then called the raise, shows that he has an ace here almost 100% of the time and will bet the river if checked to for sure. Virtually zero risk of the river getting checked through too. Mostly I was wondering if I should have 3-bet the flop or donked the turn...most people seem to think I should have done one or the other.
