Anyone do anything differently? I have UTG+2 at (18/13/3) over 61 hands.

I'd 3 bet preflop, your opponent could be overplaying AJ and in many cases, villain would cap with AKs, QQ-AA in which case you are behind.

The 3 bet from villain on the flop would probably also cause me to check/call the rest of the way.

Of course you could get frisky and try representing a spiked set by calling the flop and check raising the turn.
