i don't like how i played this. UTG was tight. he won a few big pots with big hands, but i haven't seen him win much by not showing down. i figured i'd call for set value. also with a favourable flop i thought i could probably get him to fold because he was tight and the money was close. how do you play this hand? fold preflop? all-in preflop? call and only play for set?
