The open is certainly not loose, you have Ks and pretty solid ones at that. When you consider how wide UTG is limping here, it becomes even clearer. Postflop I think there are two decisions to make (flop and river, I feel the turn is a pretty easy call given our hand and position):

On the flop, I would probably bet it because it gives us control, pushes out stupid s*** that might outdraw us and we have a good hand. I don't expect a 60/4 to get out of line against us either which means he will often call with hands we have in REALLY bad shape (yay) and only raise when we're doing pretty badly which makes our decision easy.

On the river I think this is probably a clear fold. Without knowing more, this guy seems passive and passive players very rarely go pot, pot weak. Given how many hands he's getting into pots with, he has a lot more full houses on this board than the average UTG range will, strengthening my desire to toss our two pair.

Yeah versus passive opponents I prefer betting flop because we are rarely check raised, checking back turn and evaluating if they lead river.

I agree with betting flop too. It allow you to see the turn and river for one CBet and you still have control of the pot. Also, if you get raised OTF you know where you stand and it's an easy fold.

Definitely call turn, you can stack him on a river K, and your flush is usually good. OTR, I'd fold. I don't think he's ever bluffing for pot twice, and you only have a bluff catcher.
