UTG is a reasonable player

[TJD]

Bet; call raise expecting to lose.

He might have decided on the flop to check it down with AK (Q) or an overpair since he probably thinks there is at least a chance you have missed after your PFR.

He might have a T but no guarantee. Two hearts; obviously possible but he might have bet river in that case fearing you might check behind.

I suppose it depends how agg he sees you as [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
