Commerce, 8/16

UTG limps. He's very loose, very passive, the type that get themselves to the river in most pots and then fold shaking their heads. It's folded to the BTN who raises. He's been playing for about 20 minutes and has had a few big aces that he's pushed all the way without connecting with the board. I call in the BB with 99, suits won't matter. UTG calls. 

The flop comes K73 rainbow. 

Checked to the BTN who bets. I call to raise a non-broadway turn. 

So my question is this. With a UTG who'll call down for one bet to the river with any cheese, and if I think BTN will fire all streets, am I better off check calling down to keep UTG padding the pot?  If not, what would you change in this hand to make check-calling down correct?

seems like an easy 3bet for value preflop

as played postflop i would prefer to checkraise the flop as opposed to checkcalling to keep someone else in (our hand is vulnerable-ish) or waiting to raise the turn (seems like too much action)

Id 3 bet this pf as well.
Also I'd raise to flip to knock out the utg player. I think there are alot of terrible cards that can hit an utg limp range on the turn. You also could be potentially bringing yourself right to value town on this one if the button actually has a hand.

I'm never check calling here. Raise the flip if you get re raised I'd probably check fold the turn.
