Wow, I managed to play this hand and then post about it without ever noticing that he posted UTG. That does change things, doesn't it. Damn.

Yeah, it makes it much easier to push. Even if he limped, I'm still not folding here, and the logic I outlined makes this +EV anyway, I believe.

Another possibility I never even considered is a slowplayed high pocket. I see donks going for a limp-3bet or a limp-smackdown on favorable flop with TT+. A $2 bet could very well be a donk trying to extract value from his made hand. I'd probably get stacked here with QQ+ (I'd have raised PF though).
