PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter

MP1 (t1460)
MP2 (t1175)
CO (t3485)
Button (t450)
SB (t330)
BB (t1115)
UTG (t1425)
Hero (t4060)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero????

My wondering is this, from UTG+1 what is your play here. Limp and why? Raise? If so how much? Or fold and why?

As the big stack, there's hardly a way to misplay this, if you are careful on the flop.

I would raise to 125-150 or call, depending on how I felt. With less chips I might fold.

Raise to 200 75% of the time. Call if the tiny stacks move all-in and fold to any other re-raises.

Limp the rest of the time. I can't see folding pre-flop to be the right play considering your stack.
