Raise the turn. Although its likely UTG has a Q and will value bet most rivers, i think there is a good chance he has a PP or maybe even a weak Ace and will freeze up on the river.

Your thought process is good but with two hearts, 2 connected cards and the likelyhood of an ace sitting around i think you need to raise the turn... apart from all that its for value.

The reason I didn't raise the turn is because that mimics a slowplayed monster. If he has just a weak ace, he's probably not calling the turn raise. If he has a medium pocket pair... I don't know. First hand means no reads and I have no clue what he's doing. However, I do think that many villains can find a turn fold with medium pocket pairs if I raise there. It's just too strong of a move.

Nice point. However I feel we are missing too much value trying to get 1 overcall on the turn here. In my experience, an UTG poster isnt folding too many hands to a turn raise.
