UTG is a fish, don't know anything about the others. Look good?

Looks standard to me.

To make sure I'm thinking about this right, I'm OK with getting as many bets in on the flop as possible as long as I can keep it 3 or 4-way, so the check-call-cap is correct here?

As played you played it fine getting multiple bets in with good equity.
One thing you may want to consider in a large pot is the c/3b IF you feel that utg will fold a hand like AK or KJ for two bets coming back. Giving yourself some extra outs is pretty good in a big pot.

This is a very good point. I was trying to find a way to justify a c/3b; thanks for providing it

Would there be any reason not to 3-bet with (a) Axs (b) Q/Jxs (without making a pair on the flop)?
