Firstly, I reraise preflop, but I'd like to take some time to think about just calling. It may have its advantages.

On the flop, the raise by UTG after limp-calling preflop looks so much like 55-88, TT. I would play in a way that extracts the most from this type of hand. That depends a lot on the opponent

A reraise right now will scare a good opponent off of his underpair, but many overcards could hit the turn and scare him off anyway.

On second thought, since you have position, and may not get much more out of his underpair, you may just want to call and try to win a small pot. If an overcard comes and he still is playing very strongly, that kills my theory about his underpair, and you may be able to get away from the hand against trips or a boat.

I rambled. I'll respond again later.

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST.

I changed my mind, mostly because I realized that UTG checkraised (it appears from my post that I noticed that, but I didn't) rather than just raised. He would be much less inclined to flat call the flop bet here with a big hand because he can't act after the two of you on the turn, where you might check behind.

This now looks like he has trips or a boat, and I think I'd fold.
