Re: Is there a better way to play this?
Why not raise to T75-100? That’s enough to force anyone else with crappy and or drawing hands out (since there’s a UTG raiser and then reraiser), and get UTG to define his hand. If he’s got Ax, suited connectors or smaller pair 88-22 you want him to call anyway, as he’ll be throwing away his hand to your flop bet most of the time anyway.
Once he reraises you, that seems like AA-QQ as I think all other hands would call, so you fold. And if hes got something goofy like AJ or 99 it shouldn’t be too hard to take his money later.
