2222K, Is this hand worth raising UTG in a 6-max game? If not then what position is this hand raiseable?

I had it on CO earlier today vs a 2card draw from the button that made 34568 and I had J-low or something like that and spazzed all the way to after third draw and lost. Is it ok to spazz? I mean I play 1$ with 20 cent big bet so to answer ur question is "it is a table with n00bs".

At a table w noobs where you will get cc in 3 spots by hands from 378xx to 457xx to 4569x or even worse, its not worth snowing from utg, but maybe from later positions, depending on whow

But at a table of competent players, you should open 100% from any position and snow. The few times someone has 3458x/3468x/3568x (or even 3457x which is prob bad) and re-raises is when you need to start playing poker.

Or maybe snow after second draw if we hit brick city and villain still draws 1 or more, then he/she has less equity folding tens or worse.

If folding this hand from the field in a ring game is a mistake, it's an extremely tiny one. Playing it badly can be much larger. So you need a very high confidence level to play it.

Well if it gets into a 4-way action these two alternatives work best, draw 1 and pat pat or draw 4 and aim for T and 9s to make a pat hand, then there is only 6 cards in the deck that saves villain or even less if they discarded them during first and second having no idea of the clowning HERO is up to.
