I think this is backwards. The guy is playing scared, and he still raised UTG. He's more likely than normal to have a big pair here. I don't like my 88 all that much, and even if I did, there is a cold-caller in between us.

UTG sounds like the type of guy that will check/fold QQ/JJ/TT if we 3-bet him and the flop comes A x x or K x x, or check/fold AK if the flop comes Q 9 3.
I like having the initiative here, since UTG seems like he won't put any pressure on us and will make bad folds post-flop.

So just forget that there are 3 Corkies behind us left to act?.
