reads would be nice...

but supposing no reads, I think I'd fold this. Utg is often pretty tight in this situation, in order to call you would like him to be pushing Ax, and I don't think the standard opponent does this...

With AJ I would call.

UTG, really quite tight in this situation, with 5xBB, and about to hit the blinds? Heh!

I call, and expect to see some absolute crap fron UTG.

Probably you're right. The reason I think Utg is tight is that he is not the short stack. I expect most players to sit tight here and let the short stack (Hero) make the first move...
