Default Pairs, pairs and more pairs!

For those of you who don't know me, I come from an SNG background. Pocket pairs are the cash cow of hands in sng's as you often get paid off by someones whole stack when you hit your set. Against many opponents you'd call a reasonable bet preflop, heads up, even if they showed you pocket aces, as you'd fold the flop if you didn't hit your set, and take their stack if you did.

Obviously PP's need to be played differently in a limit game. Table is generally passive, but I've only been there for 10 hands. A few questions:

What should I take from UTG's limp-reraise? In an sng I'd expect him to typically have AA or KK.

I call on the flop because the pot is so huge. Correct?

What about the turn?
