Default Re: TT seems to be trouble sometimes...

This hand is not tricky because you actually have a very good flop for your hand. you hold two stoppers to the only draw out there, and you're realistically only toast to a Q right now.

Your two options here are to 3-bet or to call. You are getting good odds to continue to the turn where you should re-evaluate. You're also raising UTG and a three-bet could signal strength make your opponent to slow down on later streets.

I would 3-bet here normally, hoping to turn a nice card (8,T,K,J) and take a free card. depending on my opponent I may also bet the turn, but as you stated, you have no reads.

I think raising has the best overall value, and calling here is the second best option. Folding I would say is mostly out of the question.
