You said you are looking for a different way to play this other than fold/allin. Why not limp?

Is the UTG minraise your standard play here? I usually would limp and play for set value.

I generally don't play for set value on level 3 with any hands, unless I have significantly more chips than my current situation.

What I really don't like is my stack/blind ratio, and any subsequent raises. Perhaps I'm overanalyzing this... but I might sometimes fold here.

I'm thinking I either:
/images/graemlins/diamond.gifPush
/images/graemlins/diamond.gifLimp
/images/graemlins/diamond.gifRaise 200
/images/graemlins/diamond.gifFold (which I really hate)

Any thoughts as to preferences?

With 15BB, I push with TT. Between 10-15 BB, I push with hands like 99-JJ, AQ, AK. I kinda want people to call me but I really don't want to see a flop.
