My gut feeling is that this UTG would raise with any hand. He doesn't stand for being pushed around and this cold-calling donkey is betting into his cap. My "obvious" overcards are another reason for him to play aggressively. Plus the very LAG cutoff sitting behind him is a great insurance policy in case UTG does just call.

It does sound like a good plan. What about the added benefit of when you raise, UTG might 3-bet with worse hands (protecting your hand), and you can feel free to cap?

Your plan is good for getting a huge pot when you have good equity, but isn't there something to be said for protecting your hand and not letting your opponents even see the turn? I think your plan would be better if you held something like TT, AA, or maybe even KK.
